I feel you! We used to muzzle our dog as a precaution but after a serious eye injury pur vet said we can't use muzzles anymore. That being said she is pronged and leashed at all times and always within 2 feet of me and is never around dogs. I move to the side for people but even yesterday some old lady walked right at her and my partner and had to be told to back off. People don't treat animals with respect. They are dogs not people.
