Important to remember that while dog people can be outgoing, it doesn't mean you won't find some that are rude with their dogs, disruptive to the neighborhood, or even cruel to the dog. I'm not sure if siccing your dog on a kid on a bike means you have a sunny disposition. Plenty of exceptions to take into account.
An animal kept chained up in the back yard at all times by neglectful owners to the point of yapping canine neurosis isn't really forcing anyone to do much of anything, apart from driving neighbors to don earmuffs. So many of those kinds of owners just tune that out completely.
Don't get me wrong, I'm very tolerant of dogs. Had several myself. It doesn't bother me personally to see them in stores. I've never seen a dog leap up and slobber on the produce. I've seen children wipe snotty hands, though.
I've known too many dogs and too many dog owners. Buying a dog for image is a red flag.
