Fixed my post with a bold line.
I admit I do think to a deeper degree than anyone else. It's like living in an area of survival. You see another survivor not of your race and language, you will instantly think of defense first before you think of cooperating. Your natural reaction will be to stay away from him because by approaching them, you will be afraid that it might threaten them to attack you.
If I saw your dog, I wouldn't run to the other side of the street. It's considered a medium to big size dog so it would be appropriate to ask you first before petting it for my safety and for your concern. Sniffing is a sign of the dog trying to acknowledge you and licking is usually a sign of the dog trying to befriend you. So if he barks, then I know to stay away haha.
