I have a 35 lb GSP (German Shorthaired Pointer). She is the best dog I have ever had, but a trait they have is being protective of her "family". She goes everywhere with me. When my wife runs into a store, the dog and I wait in the truck with the window down so she can watch the door and wait for my wife. She is fine with people walking around the truck, but it gets real when someone approaches the truck. Despite telling them not to, I have had 2 people try to reach in and pet her. Both times I had to pull her back. She is a cute dog, but goes from 0 to Jerry Springer real fast. Owners need to know their dog, and there is no way I would let her run off leash in a public area. I know what would happen, and I would expect people to defend themselves.
GSP - beautiful dog. Anyone stupid enough to reach in to a car or truck window deserves to be bitten just as a lesson to not ever do that again. I love hunting dogs, they are real dogs.
