aww, anyone who sees Baily as a scary dog doesn't deserve to love on her! I know I'd definitely be begging you to pet her and give her treats.

You should feel lucky in a way, though.. at least parents just aren't assuming she's fine with their 5 kids jumping all over her! This tends to be the reaction to Gonzo, and it's the sole reason (along with his breeder not socializing him) for his fear of kids. He is great with 1 or 2 kids petting him at a time, and he'll go out of his way to give them kisses, but often it's a whole freakin group of bratty kids... people always ask me "isn't that like the dog from Babe?" or "that's a Collie, right?". "no, he's a Border Collie, and he's very sensitive, and he doesn't appreciate all of your kids and their friends on top of him. He's not a Golden!" ... LOL, I could go on about this forever. I'd much rather parents be more cautious and keep control of their kids... the only time Gonzo is really freaked out is when kids run up behind him. Of course, most parents say to their kids "You should ask first, you know"... by this time the kid has already been petting Gonzo, and if he was going to he would've already bitten them not that he would, of course. I didn't mean to make this so looong... but this is my biggest pet peeve.. I would feel better if people were cautious around my dog
