I walk fine without reacting to other humans or dogs - as long as those humans or dogs don’t react towards me or my family. My family doesn’t trust me off leash because of some situations I have gotten myself in, and although I do have a bite history, it’s all based on my protective instinct.“

  — Ioana A.
