Ohhh story time. Now keep in mind that this is back at least thirty years ago, Hong Kong, most doors are left open during the day and I wan't born yet.

My dad had a German Shepherd named Jackie, he was quick, mean, vicious and terrifies my father now when he thinks about all the close calls he had of the dog nearly hurting/killing someone. Anyway, one day the neighbor's kid who's maybe two wanders over, climbed all over the dog to get onto the sofa, then did the same when he climbed off the sofa and the dog let him. My dad nearly had a heart attack when he saw it because he thought for sure the dog would bite.

I'm not saying that all dogs would do that, but for a dog that people can't even raise their voice around my dad when he's walking the dog, that has to count for something.
