Dog bite liability typically requires a showing that you knew or should have known of the animal's propensity to be dangerous and then acted negligently in the face of that knowledge. Based on the brief summary you set out, my answer is this: could you be sued, yes; would you likely win that lawsuit with ease, also yes.
