It is true, dogs are great judges of character.
But...I sometimes do meet dogs who are unsure of me, and skittish. On average about 5 every hundred! I do not blame them, as some are very wary of people they do not know. Or it is sometimes a case of the dog having 'history' before rescue, and there is no knowing what they went through. Often the dog's people don't know the details, but their dog is always slightly nervous of strangers, etc.
It goes to show they are complex and sensitive Souls, with their own personal likes and dislikes, and scars from their past.
And just like people, there are dogs who make friends quickly, and are extroverts....and others who are slow to make friends and are introverts.....or just simply like time to get used to someone.
I respect them all.
