Dog liability without bite
I cannot say whether he would prevail if he did sue, but I can tell you, that under the Massachusetts dog bite and liability law, it does not matter if the dog actually bites anyone. All that is required to create a cause of action and potential liability on the part of the dog's owner is that the dog injure a person or damage property. Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 140, Section 155 states in relevant part:
If any dog shall do any damage to either the body or property of any person, the owner or keeper . . . shall be liable for such damage, unless such damage shall have been occasioned to the body or property of a person who, at the time such damage was sustained, was committing a trespass or other tort, or was teasing, tormenting or abusing such dog.
As you can see, a bite is not required to trigger liability. Any type of damage will do. Hopefully the delivery guy is OK and/to decides to let the matter go.
