I've seen lots of kids who are scared of Snowy. Mostly because she jumps up to lick your face.

My mom is terrified of my uncle's dobies. One of his, Cody, attacked my sister when she was little and my mom won't let us near them. They are really sweet dogs, but sometimes they get a little too playful.

I do pick up Snowy when we're around larger dogs or dogs that just get a little too excited, only because she will freak out if a larger dog comes up, even if it's only a few inches taller then her. She used to love big dogs, but then she was attacked by this (really, really pretty) Akita, and now she gets so scared. There are only a few big dogs that she likes, mostly ones that are very laid back, but Snowy is a little attack dog and I'm worried she'll be the one to start something with another dog.
