To think the sign in NDNs window is naff and unnecessary?

[hotstepper4]

New NDNs, moved in about a month ago. Haven't actually spoken to them yet but they've got a dog, I've seen it out in their garden, it's a rottweiler I believe.

Tbh I'm just happy that so far I haven't heard it barking, so so far so good, haven't worried about it.

Today, the ndns have put a sign in their front window. It says : "Warning! A dangerous dog lives here. It bites. You have been warned"

Myself and dh have 4 dc between us, the dc like to have their friends over sometimes and I think the sign is really giving off the wrong vibes, it's not the nicest area but the sign is making me uneasy. We have a cat too.

AIBU?

My dad's got a doormat that says something like "beware of the wife. The dogs cool"

Yabu. It's just to warn any potential burglar off I suspect. Also if I was doit knocking ie canvassing I'd think twice about knocking on that particular door. It's a deterrent. Get over yourself.

The sign seems a bit over the top and aggressive to me too. A beware of the dog is fine, or a jokey sign. But this seems a bit nasty. I would not want to visit them.
I would check with them if it is a joke and whether I should be training children not to go near the fence.
