I can understand people being scared of big dogs. However I grew up with a lot of dogs and I've been charged by a bully XL. My instinct was to smile and lunge at it making dog-talk noises and to fuss it. It jumped into my face and bust my lip but it jumped back in fear cos it thought it'd be in trouble for hurting me.

I carried on fussing it to let it know I forgave it and it wasn't a problem.

It wasn't until after I realised that non-dog people would have shit themselves and shown fear. Which could have triggered the dog to attack.

So that's a well founded fear; no? IMO if your pet, regardless what it is, requires other people to know how to act to avoid being possibly mauled; it has absolutely no business being in public.

My badish encounter with my friend's giant pit basically went the same. The second my hand was in his mouth he realized he fucked up and was my best friend after.

In his defense, my roommate's cat had just started spraying on everything.

That sounds like an awful way to live with a large dog.
