My dog phobic DD actually patted and fussed over a lovely male staffie at a friends house.
I honestly thought I'd never see the day.She is extremely phobic about dogs to the extent of running into the road to avoid one. 
So Thank You Staffordshire Bull Terrier for living up to your Nanny Dog Status (Oh, OK your mum and dad trained you well 
) and helping my DD .
Now that's 1 dog. Only 9 million to go...
