Artful Dodger: Damien use to LOVE kids..now he is more muture and a bit older and doesn't tolerate them as well,so I don't let kids pet him.They can look,but not touch,because I will NOT take that chance.
A WONDERFUL way to break the ice with a dog is to offer treats..I tell everyone I meet this,it starts to earn the trust of a dog.If a person is truly "bad" the dog knows,and he will let YOU know.
ANY DOG that just flys off seemingly unprovaoked has issues,weather it be breeding,socialization (or LACK OF IT) dominance issuses,or terirtorial issuses,but these can ALL be adderessed by the owner being responsible.
I train dogs and do you think I will walk up to a strange dog,big or little that I don't know? no way..why? because I am not stupid,lol.I also do not EVER allow my dogs to be offlead,EXCEPT at the training club,and it is under INTENSE training that they can be offlead.I have at LEAST 5 dogs a week run up on us at the park and the owner yelling that famous.."oh!! it's ok!! my dog doesn't bite!!" ummm,ALL DOGS CAN BITE! and what if mine did bite? people are so ignorant when it comes to dogs and it just rubs me wrong!

anastasia:  You bring up a good point about dogs in the part (or wherever they might be).  I think it starts with responsible pet ownership.  When I took my dog anywhere, she was on her leash.  I knew that I could command most situations but  she was faster than I and there was no sense in taking a chance of letting her roam free while we walked together.  But when we got to an open field, I'd let her run.  As long as there were no other dogs or little kids to distract her. 

My daughter was in California visiting relatives and her 3 year old was attacked by a dog.  The dog was on a leash but it just went nuts and charged my grandaughter (this was a few weeks ago).   My son in law came unglued on the owner.   They had to call the police over it.  But then there are other dogs that are well trained and they'd never do that sort of thing. 

We've got an interesting situation in our neighborhood within the last two weeks.  There's this big brown dog (not sure what kind but maybe part lab?) and it just showed up.  It lays in the middle of the street and just hangs out.  All the time!  (we lived in a culdesac where there are three culdesacs and the dog lays on the main entrance road)  Someone must be feeding it otherwise why does it stay?  I'd go make friends with it but am afraid it will "adopt" me.  lol.  I think I'll bring it a treat later though. ;)
