Stormy...thanks, interesting article, however I don't believe the dogs are 
reacting aggressively while walking with men because of reading the owner's 
emotion, I do believe the dog is smelling a chemical reaction perceived by the 
dog as a threat!.....when we become aroused due to a perceived threat our body 
goes through a "fight or flight" process....adrenalin floods our system 
preparing us to fight, or in my case RUN! and the by-product, lactic acid, 
pours out of our sweat glands...which is why we sweat when nervous or excited 
the dog reacts to this scent as a challenge......that's why the dog knows when 
some one is afraid, the dog is really reacting to the scent coming off the 
scared victim...when ever I'm walking, dog or no dog and I come up next to an 
unknown adult male I am sure I am giving off a challenge smell,,,my mind is 
programmed that an unknown adult male is a potential danger...and I know my 
dogs pick this up!.......case in point many years ago my protection male while 
on leash with me almost bit Shirley Briggs O'brien...so I must have been 
giving off some kind off strange scent...lol....FB ----- Original Message -----

Dogs Walked by Men Are More Aggressive 

http://news.discovery.com/animals/dog-walking-behavior-111103.html 

A dog's age, sex and size, as well as the owner's sex and use or not   
of a leash all affect canine behavior. 

THE GIST 
        � One of the world's largest studies of dogs on walks reveals 
how   
factors affect behavior. 
        � The presence or not of a leash, the sex of the owner, and 
the sex   
of the dog all predict how aggressive a dog will be.
