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. Shelley L.
