You are right.
99% of the time I welcome people to interact with my dog. She likes it, they like it. She will not acknowledge people unless I tell her it is okay, then she makes it brief and is right back on my right side in a "heel" stance. Plus is extremely rare that people who would like to say hi to her do not ask.
She also has frequently gone to places with autistic children and other disabilities as a "therapy dog".
She has more than one "job" some days
