[PiePiper]

I also think any large dog has the potential to be dangerous and I'm always cautious when I'm walking Piper. I don't care when the owner of a large dog says " He won't hurt her." I always keep a good distance away. Years ago I had a mini poodle and my neighbor was walking by with her Alaskan Malmute without a leash. I immediately called my poodle as my neighbor is saying "He won't hurt her". He scooped her up so fast. Luckily he did drop her when my neighbor yelled to drop it. But the damage was already done. My poor baby suffered shock, puncture wounds and a collasped lung.
