Anyhow, apologized for my ridiculous dog and we have worked out alternative routes so our dogs don't see each other where we are both leaving/entering on different floors.

Update: after another interaction tonight it seems that my dog is reacting not to the other dog, but to the jolly ball that dog carries, because he is weirdly fearful of certain objects.

I mentioned the dog's breed only because I needed a descriptor to differentiate that my dog has absurdly tried to pick a fight with a dog 5 times his size who belongs to a cop. It isn't an indictment of the breed, it was just illustrating a story.

Sometimes dogs have problems with each other, I guess. It's just our responsibility as owners to ensure that that problem doesn't get anybody hurt.

The German Shepherd previously lunged at my dog and has gone for several other dogs.

There are many good German Shepherds. It isn't the breed, it is the personality of individual dogs. But sometimes dogs don't like each other. I will be keeping my distance from this dog so there aren't issues.

I'm proud that my son has absorbed my politics (but also don't want him to get mauled)

I'm actually stressing out pretty hard about this because the way we have to wait for elevators means that my dogs or this dog could be coming out of the elevator or around the corner and run into each other.

This dog has intimidated/lunged at him before but tonight Oliver was the one reacting.
