I only allow Rocky to meet a larger dog if I KNOW the dog is friendly and going to be O.K with him. It's really not worth taking a chance and risking him getting attacked, but on the other side, you don't want your baby to fear larger dogs. If a strange, larger dog approaches us, I pick him up. I don't cross the street if a larger dog is just standing there and is on a leash or anything.
