New research from pet food experts Bella & Duke has revealed which dogs people find to be the most scary - and the most friendly.
It shows that the public see little to fear from the likes of Labradors or Spaniels but that other breeds are seen in a more negative light.
This usually just shows a lack of understanding of the breeds in question - who are often unfairly considered to be aggressive or likely to bite.
Here are the 10 breeds of dog that are least likley to provoke fear.
