Some people don't like dogs. Some people are scared of dogs. Some people are allergic to dogs. You're not going to change that. As cute and curious as little Astrid may be, the people are more important.

I think you guys are mis-understanding firefly, she dosent say she lets her dog run at the end of her leash up to these people. Firefly says the fear in people peaks the curiosity of the dog and of course they want to investigate.
If I'm walking down the street with my dogs and someone is coming the other way I move out of the way with my dogs, if someone is freaking out and screaming like its Godzilla about to attack them I'm not crossing the street to avoid that person, I'll still keep my dogs away from them, but its Your fear, Its Your Anxiety that causes that, your the one that should be taking yourself out of that situation.
