That dog's owner is extremely irresponsible. Period. Nothing like a nice fat fine to get them to see the light. That visit would have ended there and then. The incident would have been reported as needed. The dog was protecting it's own. No need to punish the dog. Sounds like a good watch dog. Our dogs stay in cages when strangers come to the house. That includes answering the door to somebody the dogs have not met.
