Lately, she's been so fickle in who she likes or dislikes (though I suspect it's how they look similar to those who have raised her or similar to those she knows) >_<; lol
Someone could look at her or have a body language that's just not sending the right signals and she's going into mini-Rambo mode lol >< Although, I do find that other current dogs owners seem to draw less of her defensiveness. Me thinks they tend to know how to approach her, better than those who may not have dogs or are new to them. I've been tempted to bring treats that others can offer to her to make her more at ease with them, but at the same time I'm wondering, should I leave her a bit of wariness for strangers, after all, not all of them have friendly intentions. X_x; and at the same times I don't want her to be gullible to follow or go with someone else, on random.

I would NOT do the treats with strangers for the very reasons you gave. She will learn to take food from any stranger, there are ppl who do not like dogs.
