    Despite the seemingly plain language of the statute, California courts do recognize a defenses of provocation, negligently causing the attack, and assumption of risk.

    so in ca if you poke a sleeping dog with a stick and it wakes and bites you ..
    most likely the owner would prevail if any suits were filed as provocation and negligence caused the incident not aggression?
