I have gotten very angry at a parent who tells their kid that the dog will
bite if he doesn't behave. I have ben known to have some serious discussions
with that parent.
I was in a store with a friend when a lady told her child to behave or the
dog would bite. My friend told the lady not to use my dog as a disciplinary
tool. He also pointed out that her child might be in a position to hire a
blind person some day. A very capable person might miss out on an opportunity
for employment through no fault of his own just because of the encounter the
interviewer had with a guide dog when young.

I heard of one user who said when asked if her dog would bite, "on command."
That should send anybody up to no good on their way.
But I just usually say "I wouldn't want to know." Again, as Shelly said, it
depends on where you are and who asks. You can tell if it is just an innocent
question or not which it usually is. People who don't know much a bout dogs or
don't like them assume they bite. What really gets me is the parent who tells
their small child not to bother my dog because it will bite. That I won't
tolerate, by saying such a thing the parent only instills fear in that child.

Ah, it depends on the town. here they assume unless otherwise that a dog
bites, end of story, so a simple "Does that Dog bite," with the answer "not
usually" will send people into a panicked flight away from the dog.
So sometimes I need to explain that guide dogs are gentle and are not
allowed to be aggressive, but sometimes it is lost on people. And
sometimes
I don't try, smile, depending again on what neighborhood I find myself
standing in. Or if I am on a bus or where I am.
Here my dog is a "guard" dog, I am not quite sure where that one came from,
smile, shrug, but I try to change it if I can. It is usually different
ethnic groups that appear to be absolutely terrified of my dog.

Hmmm. I think "Growl" or "Vicious" of "Protector"
would be better. smile
