Hello,I own a small Jack Russell Terrier who is very friendly, well behaved and is always on a lead. I live in an apartment building with mostly Indian and Pakistani families none of which whom own any pets. There are many shared security and fire doors leading to the front door of my apartment. I've noticed that whenever my dog and I are entering/exiting a door and one of the neighbours is there they often jump back as if frightened and then give myself and my dog a wide birth when passing by.I want to be respectful of my neighbours in case I'm missing something cultural. Today though one of the men jumped about a foot and screamed like a little girl... I thought that was a bit much.Can someone please shed some light on this situation? I'm completely dumbfounded. Are Indian/Pakistani persons afraid of dogs for any particular reason? How are dogs viewed in India/Pakistan? How do dogs fit into their religious beliefs or the caste system?If you're of Indian/Pakistani descent I'm particularly interested in your thoughts.Thank you so much for everyones insight!Anna
