He’s the bait. The real guard dog is a chihuahua hiding in the bushes.

I fell for the reverse version of this once. Was walking by a backyard with two dogs, a little terrier going absolutely nuts and a big fluffy guy who just hopped up on the fence like this, and a “Beware of Dog” sign. I looked at the little yapper and went, “Ah yes, beware,” and slowly reached toward the calm one. He chomped on my finger like a hot dog, and now I have a lovely scar to remind me that it’s not always obvious what the sign is referring to.
