Getting used to my girlfriends dog (big one) and going to the dog park as someone who didnt grow up with dogs, she and others still poke fun at me for sometimes going into a protective body position around them when they're excited and not being totally trusting yet ... reading stories like those, I stand behind my instincts lol.
Not all dogs are behaved, and not every owner can be relied on to take control of their animal around bystanders.
