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.

I'm just going by what I read in her post, and I don't much care what the rationale of a dog is when it approaches a person who wants nothing to do with said dog.
I agree that you shouldn't have to cross the street if someone is "screaming like Godzilla about to attack them". The point is that in a normal situation, (which has nothing to do with someone screaming as though they are being attacked by a sea monster), it's up to the owner of the dog to deal with it, and not the person who doesn't want to be bothered by a dog.
