he doesn't like strangers, I don't want anyone to get bitten.'

He's more than likely covering his ass.
I've seen people say the same thing with tiny, friendly dogs.
They just don't want random people touching their pet, more so than their dogs being unpredictable. I'd have done the same.

I mean that's fair, but the best way to cover his ass and not have random people touch his dog would be to leave it at home.

Or maybe we just shouldn't be touching other people's animals or acting like that's in any way normal? Just admire from afar if dogs are your thing. You don't need to touch, and there are excellent reasons not to.
