Yeah right, he was sitting nicely beside me just looking around, waiting for his turn to see the vet.

I always get these comments or similar ones refering to how vicious they are with the Dobes and Rotts.
That highly aggravates me as well. Firstly, like they even *know* the dog at all. Secondly, does it look like it's trying to eat you? Thirdly, nice way to perpetuate a stupid stereotype.

That's happened with my moms GS/Rottie mix and her RB Treasure who also happened to be very well behaved.
