Thank you! With the narrow walk way and me stopping to take pics, my hb and Kaiser often ended up ahead of me but it turned out great because I could hear all the comments: Wow, what a big dog. Beautiful dog. Good looking dog. That's a Doberman. But my favorite was: That's a lot of dog

The guy who said it didn't seem to say it in a positive way either. He was wide-eyed and his mouth was hanging open, almost like disbelief. It was interesting to see that type of reaction and, yes, he is a lot of dog lol.
Many people did a double take, some would smile and others would hold their breath as we passed, but everyone would keep their eyes on the dog and not make any sudden moves. It was pretty fascinating to watch because people will instinctively hold their arms closer to their body, or if they already had their arms up holding on to their backpacks, they would tighten the grip on the backpack lol.
Two older ladies seemed really scared. One actually held on to the canyon wall to get the most distance from Kaiser. It was an over the top reaction from her, but I could see the fear was real. The other one stayed behind her hb and held on to his shoulders as they slowly passed by.
There were other dogs as well and some of those people seemed afraid to pass Kaiser. We had several moments of 'pressing' Kaiser into the fencing while we stood still so that those people could pass without the dogs interacting. All the people traffic stopped during those moments too

For one of these moments, the other dog (a little one too) barked and then Kaiser barked back. When Kaiser barked, it seemed like everyone gasped

Never a dull moment!
A funny thing that made me smile was the amount of people who commented on Kaiser's testicles

One group of young men noticed and they were impressed by the size of them LOL. A group of young women also had a good giggle upon seeing them, so I was pretty happy to see I'm not the only one who is paying attention to them
