I've had people ask "Does your dog bite?". To which I reply "All dogs bite".
We often get this question, as our dog looks soft and pet-able. If kids are polite enough to ask, I always try to accommodate them to reward them for doing things the right way. But our dog is a rescue and not all that fond of strangers and children, so I have her sit, get down to her level, put my arms around her, and tell the kids not to touch her head, but pet her body. See how soft she is? I ask. I think it's good for everyone, unless the kids are screaming and overly wild. Then I just say no.
Maybe things like this vary by area? We were out and about with one of ours on Saturday, doing some shopping and grabbing lunch, so I paid attention to how people acted. Nobody touched him. A couple asked if it was ok. Quite a few just commented that he's cute. One person complained to the management that there was a dog on the patio, and was told that company policy is to welcome dogs. Just interesting observations.
it all depends on the dog, human, and conditions.
my dogs were very friendly, (sad both have aged out long ago) loved to play with kids. but there were a couple of "kids" they alerted on. good thing they stopped coming around, (the two boys did not live in that area).
never approch a dog you do not know, without asking the owner first.
Jerry Clower or Justin Wilson had a bit years ago.
Sheriff was sitting in front of courthouse. Traveling salesman came up and saw the dog laying there. Salesman asked, “Does you dog bite?” Sheriff said, “no”
Salesman went to pet the dog and got bit! He ask the Sheriff what happened. Sheriff said “ that ain’t my dog!”

On the other side, keep your dog from peeing on my tires and trying to lick me.
