my magic is not friendly either. but his only thing is he needs to go to the person they can't just bend down to pet him because he moves away. in time he will go to them if he wants. he lets people in but goes crazy when people try to leave. also does not like other dogs but will tolerate my daughters chi as long as she does not come by me. but she has been coming over since he was a baby so i don't understand. would love to get a puppy but he is 7 now and i don't think he would accept it.
