[nagdu] Does Your Dog Bite?

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

For me, it really depends on the situation. The one time that I can remember 
someone asking me about Lexia, it was when I was taking Outreach (a service 
for people with disabilities). If I remember correctly, the driver was 
asking because he had been bit before, or another driver had or something, 
so I was not going to yes or some other vague answer. That being said, if 
you feel that someone is asking you if your dog bites and you think that 
they are trying to size up your dog to decide whether or not it is a good 
idea to try to attack you or something, you can give a much different 
answer. Luckily, I have never been put in that situation. Being a lab, Lexia 
might lick someone to death (just kidding).
