People apparently don't know or don't care how their homeowners insurance premiums skyrocket if they're known to have an aggressive dog on the place.
If I am confronted by an aggressive dog while doing my job as an Insurance Inspector, one of two things happens. If the dog prevents me from doing my job, all I need to do is turn in a photo of the dog, my company backs me up on not doing my job, and the homeowner can forget about insurance.
If the owner is present, and the dog is under control, my next question is, "Has the dog ever bitten anyone?" If it has, see above.
A couple of weeks ago, I was inspecting a vacant rental property. The next door neighbors had a huge, vicious Black Lab tethered on a 1/4" cable. The cable was long enough for the dog to hit the property line. The entire time I was on the premises, the dog kept lunging to the end of the cable and showing about a million teeth. I suspect the dog was the reason the property was vacant in the first place, and I suspect the property will not be rented as long as the neighbor's dog is there. I had to write the dog up in my report as an "Adjacent Hazard".
I've never figured out why anyone would be compelled to own a dog with that disposition. Is the owner so pathetically insecure that they get a vicarious feeling of power through the dog? Beats me.
