I think this is bang on . My Beau is very sensitive, and it really angers me to no end when people make the decision for us to approach, generally, with people he is completely fine. In fact, he loves it, on the other hand when people do this with their dogs, (and this is constant) they make the decision without asking that its okay to have their dog stick their nose in Beau's face, this is something that he does not like and I have to pull my dog back, and when I say something, they are almost always unapologetic in their rude behavior

I agree - excellent article!
