Baily is adorable! I'm sorry that happened to you, I have experienced it as well. I try to just ignore it, I understand that some people are afraid so I don't take it personally. My Goliath is 111 lbs so a lot of people are afraid of him, but he is a sweetheart. I feel bad for him because he feels rejected when people don't give him attention. When he was a puppy, we had to stop every 5 steps so someone could pet him and he loved it. Now everytime we meet someone he gets all excited thinking they are going to stop and pet him and instead they cross the street. He actually cries when that happens.
