I think a lot depends on whether you basically like dogs or don't like them.
I love dogs, but I don't like them to jump on me. BUT even if they do, I still like them. I don't like owners who let their dogs pee on my Magnolia bush. The dog is not to blame.
I think there are some people who don't like dogs and are a bit afraid of them. To those people, even if the dog sits quietly by its owner, walks beside them, doesn't bark or do anything you might think a bad dog would do, they still don't like them.
I don't own a dog, but I like them. People are kind to let me pet theirs.
