In a West Palm Beach dog bite lawsuit resulting from a child's injuries from a dog bite, a dangerous dog means any dog that:

• has acted aggressively, has bitten, attacked, or inflicted severe injury on a human being on public or private property;
  
  On more than one occasion has severely injured or killed a domestic animal while off the owner's property;

  Has been used primarily or in part for the purpose of dog fighting or is a dog trained for dog fighting;

  Has chased or approached a person or people on any public grounds in a threatening manner or apparent attitude of attack provided that such actions are attested to in a sworn statement.

  However, a dog may not be declared dangerous if the threat, injury, or damage was sustained by a person who, at the time, was unlawfully on the property or, while lawfully on the property, was tormenting, abusing, or assaulting the dog, dog owner or family member. Accordingly, no dog can be declared dangerous if the dog was actually protecting or defending a person within the vicinity of the dog.
