[MR] Yeah, dogs again

[Wolf Silveroak]

My Dante, a 13yr old Akita, is a good dog, loves attention, is generally
comfortable around most people.  But that does not mean I will take her into
a situation where she may not react well. Nor would I ever consider forcing,
technically, someone who is not comfortable around dogs, to have to be
subjected to being next to her.

Good dog or not, they can and will bite if they feel threatened.   No one
should ever have to be made to feel that they are not welcome because of my
dog, cat, whathave you.  Nor should the pet, especially if it's a well
trained pet.

It's just like BSL- one or two percent of an entire breed/species can ruin
it for the entire breed/species.
