I don't know what your laws are like there, but here in the US, it doesn't matter if you have signs all over. If a dog bites someone, no matter where, they are legally responsible. Even burglars trying to rob a house and who got bit by the family's dog was able to sue the owners before

It is totally not right IMO, totally messed up. Hopefully the laws where you are, are more reasonable.

If that man had just remained calm instead of lashing out, he'd probably be just fine.
It is like that in most states & counties but not every where in the US, it does vary, I know near Ocala Florida if you have a beware fo the dog sign up than your dog can even kill someone on your property & you will NOT be held responsible, HOWEVER here in upstate NY if you have a beware of the dog sign up you are at fault no ifs, and or butts about it, as you knew your dog was a danger to begin with so you are ALWAYS at fault.
