Probably because you refer to them as orientals.
I kid.
Asians are usually fearful of dogs, particularly the older generation. As to why that is, probably because they have never had dogs before. The younger generation, not so much. At least not in Canada. Even in china, the trend is moving towards more dog ownership amoung the younger crowd.
