The number of people saying "oh he's friendly" as their dog scares someone afraid of dogs because they're jumping up on them is stupid.

This makes me angry, when it happens. I happen to be huge, and adore dogs, so I hide it well.

Folks with dogs that jump up on people, need to keep those dogs away from other people. Others didn't sign up to have an out of control animal jumping all over them. Doesn't matter if the animal is friendly or not.

Agreed. While I love dogs like crazy, and personally don't mind it (I'm big enough that it's not a problem), I only think it's OK if it's a puppy who isn't old enough to have learned yet... and even then they need to be trained, or they won't behave later.
