The visiting nurse jumps a little in her chair every time the doge barks. I try to reassure her while calming the dog, but they seem to feed off each other: the nurse gets agitated, which riles the dog up, which leads to more barking, etc.
Finally everybody settles down a little, and I say, apologetically, "She would never bite you, but I guess that doesn't mean you should come over and try to pet her or anything."
The nurse shakes her head, "No, I would never do that when she thinks she's protecting you."
