This is why I am SO PARANOID about letting kids touch my dogs, tbh. All it would take is an accidental knocking over for someone to start screaming about VICIOUS DOBERMANS OMG. And I've had people do the "pull away" thing with Tink, my fawn female Dobe. They will pet on her and tell me how they used to have Weimaraners, blah blah blah, and the minute I say "actually, she's a Doberman" they jerk their hands back like they've been burned and walk away. Because you know dogs only bite you if you KNOW they're a dangerous breed.
