‘It’s 50/50. Some individuals are frightened and cross the street when they see him, and others simply wish to stroke and family pet him.
‘People will question me, like; “what is this dog”? They’ll state “what is that”? “Is that a pony”? “Is it a lion”?
‘My daughters were scared of him initially because of his size. But after a few walks they got used to him. He knows they’re my children, so he’s their natural protector now.’
