As a dog owner myself, some dogs look intimidating that are not and one like mine (dachshund) can look little and approachable might not be, not so much that he would growl or snap, but people tend to go right to him, I am amazed at the parents that allow their children to just grab him with out as much as a "is he friendly?" I can tell he is hesitant and will say something like "he is a little crabby/moody" and pull him away.

What some people are used to such as barking, drooling, begging others might not find adorable (and my dog is adorable). :-)
