My dog was a rescue and she growls and barks while I walk her on the leash if a person is walking too close to us at the time. I say to them,“ She isn’t friendly” you would think that would deter them from coming over to her with their hand stretched out in front of her face. But No, then they are surprised when they see her aggressively barking. She has never bit anyone, but if during her barking at someone and they put their hand close to her mouth, that person could get hurt. Even though I love dogs, I am bright enough not to go over to a strange dog and try to pet them, yet on many occasions this was done to my dog.
PS Neither myself or my dog wear a mask when walking. However I always wear a mask whether I am shopping and practice social distancing.
