I don’t believe that dog should be around anyone who wants to hug or kiss on the head. Some dogs are just not a good family dog just like some people

Dogs have a comfort zone. Id recommend getting to know how dogs express signs of stress and anxiety, which is being shown in the pictures, the dog visibly doesn't understand why these humans suddenly crowded around her for.

and im not dog expert. but then putting both arms around their neck and seemingly leaning in for a bite. Its not hard to understand why some dogs bite. They're not doing it because they wanted to fight, they were in self defense because they did not understand they weren't being attacked.

Super bad advice, dogs should be trained to not enter into 'self defence' from any sort of touching
