It makes me both sad and angry that so many people are scared of Ebony and Jada. Those two really do love people.
I wouldn't have crossed the street, but I would have just said hi as I continued to walk by. Not out of fear, but out of respect for you and your dogs, I simply wouldn't want to interrupt your walk. Unfortunately I'm sure a lot of people are fearful of your dogs, but I hope you don't feel everyone who doesn't stop to pet your dogs is afraid of them.

So do I, I hope to have a pit bull someday. I know several and love all of them. I would hate to think that someone thought I was afraid of them though, just because I didn't go up to them and pet them.
(I know that's not what you were implying, I was just adding a different point of view to what you said.)
