Yes, most people seem fearful of my girls. A stranger coming to the house is almost always afraid. When the girls and I are out walking we get lots of comments about how beautiful they are but everyone keeps a distance. Yesterday when we were walking there was a group of young kids out playing and one of the little girls spotted us from a distance and hollered at us asking if she could pet our dogs. After telling her yes and getting closer she took one look at Tori and said that Tori was scary looking...lol. Those eyes do it every time. It didn't stop her though she asked if Tori liked kids and when I told her yes, the little girl seemed fine then. She was such a tiny little girl and I was impressed that she wasn't afraid of the big dogs and that she knew to ask if she could pet them.

Occasionally I wish people weren't afraid of them but most times it doesn't bother me and I actually feel safer because of it. I'm pretty certain that no one is going to bother me when my girls are with me.
