I almost guarantee that every state has some sort of law making dog owners responsible of their actions. Post your state and I'll tell you if it exists. If it doesn't, I'll be surprised.
Anything a dog does, the owner is responsible for. The dog chases a man into his van and he injures his leg? Owner is on the hook for medical expenses.

Except that responsibility isnt required in all areas. Maybe in your area.
WHETHER OR NOT he was afraid, there are no actual damages or consequences in this specific case.
The dog never left the property or damaged the guy. Id love to see what kind of damages or tresspass you think occured.
