>>328964The local comic shop has one of those. He's the most non threatening thing in our town. His head and paws are disproportionate to his body (larger than you'd expect for a dog) that it makes him look all the much larger.
Someone brought their little girl into the store and he was big enough for her to ride on. Though she found charlie (the wolf hound) too scary to get near.
I've never had problems with dogs so it's hard to think of a scary breed.
