She frightened my dogs '

While visiting our daughter' on leaving her flat I went to the loft taking our dogs with us, While waiting for the lift, this stupid  African or Jamaican ? woman came out of her flat pushing a pushchair with a child in it, She started to shout & scream at our dogs' I told her that the dogs would not hurt her' But she just kept on making a right racket' Now my dogs were so frightened that one of them peed themself'  Why are so many of these people afraid of dogs that did not even bark at them and would not hurt a fly, Its pathetic !
