I don’t see the fail here

I think the sign intended to say that a person who hears the dog barking should not run away because the dog doesn’t bite…

I think the fail is in that we’re not really sure what the sign is saying…we can guess, but it’s not clear.

Well, of course the dog doesn’t bite when it barks. It’s too busy barking.

@Tom: I think that’s what the meaning is, it seems to be a quite popular saying wherever this sign was written which, based on the curvy handwriting, is probably somewhere in Southeast Asia.

But…but…it’s actually apostrophicated correctly…how does that happen with non-English speakers when we can’t get people with well over a decade of English instruction to do it right?

They are forced to learn perfect English in most Asian countries… Sadly we let our youth slouch =/

Not running when dog’s barking doesn’t bite? No shit. It doesn’t bite when dog’s not barking either. Epic discovery.
