Meet Mighty Boy, the most perpetually frightened pup in the tropics.
She gets surly (to the point of fecal vengeance) if she doesn't get constant, up-close, and varied human attention. He's deathly afraid of people (myself included, though we made progress), and could dominate any canine tug-of-war competition he entered, plus most homo sapien ones. Each walk with this duo felt like a Joseph Heller passage.
Cute kids, though.
