I’ve met all kinds of dogs [and critters], and never been bitten in my lifetime. A kind demeanor and gentle hands go a long ways to making new friends.

I’ve been around several breeds in my life, from labs to terriers, spaniels to mixed.
My American bulldog is the best I’ve ever known.
I hit ‘Abuse’ since the poster couldn’t resist adding ‘Dogs of Peace’ to the title of the article.

I visited "Parrot Jungle" in Miami once. As I was walking around the open petting zoo I saw lots of beautiful and exotic birds. I noticed something strange. The very handsome birds seemed to be "arrogant" if you can ascribe that attitude to a bird.

But one of the birds was absolutely the homliest animal I had ever seen. It was like a giant feces with wings. I offered him a pellet of food anyway. He was the kindest, most gentle animal I think I have ever met. I ended up giving him all the pellets I had and petted him quite a bit. Had he been for sale, I would have bought him.

Agreed.
