Not necessarily. That is the problem. Is a barking dog considered to attacking? Some would say, yes and others would say, no. That is what creates some of the gray area. Not all barking dogs are angry and about to attack. Some just get excited and bark. Some are mad or afraid and will bark but won't bite. Some will just skip that barking part and go directly to biting. It just isn't as cut and dried as many would like to think it is.
