4 cents, cumulative.
I have known greatly affectionate pits, rotties, shepherds, dobies, chows.
Also, meanies and surprise attackers.
I never approach any of them without their initiating contact or the owners reassurance.
And never fail to be their friend if they want to be.
Dogs decide who they like as dog friends and people friends. The best dog may encounter someone who freaks them out. It happened to me. A professional trainer was behind me with her shepherd on a leather leash when the dog bit me on the derrier, never had done that before. Go figure.
