As a dog lover I can tell you that one of the best ways to
"talk down" a suspicious person with a dog is first to
talk to the dog in a friendly, familiar way, and then
tell the owner how beautiful, wonderful, cute,
magnificent their dog is. Ask what the dog's name is, the
breed or mix, etc. You can even ask if you can make a
photograph of the person and the dog. Most dog owners
lover their dogs and react positively to anyone who
treats their dogs with respect and affection. It is
*much* easier to talk to a stranger with a dog than a
stranger without a dog...

This definitely doesn't work for the pit bulls in my
'hood, they _know_ I am lying about them being cute and just
growl all the louder and show more teeth.
A squirt gun filled with ammonia is more helpful with
both dog and owner.
Contrast this with the fact that no one can do anything
anywhere anymore without your friendly local television
camera recording it.
Your dog loving friend...
