WOW! That is nuts. Considering the way people steal purses and cameras and even kids, my first thought would have been that someone was trying to steal my dog...and my reflexes probably would have gotten me in trouble.
My boys are like your kids: Max wouldn't do anything, but Teddy would snap at a stranger for sure. Poor Teddy, people charge at him and act like they are going to scoop him up, which probably is their intention until they see teeth. I'm convinced he is afraid of being taken away from his family, so he has become antisocial. Can't blame him because people behave so badly around him.
