He reminds me a lot of my Opie who is just a big love bug (although only about half Duncan's size) and is the calmest, sweetest dog around other dogs, although people can sometimes rub him the wrong way.

I can see how a big boisterous dog can be scary though. It helps to be calm and not fearful and anxious when dealing with a dog- they are very attuned to human emotions.
