I think dogs are unnerved by it.

I have the distinct impression that the dogs that I run into while out on my daily walk are a little more nervous about me than they were pre-mask. *Maybe* they're picking up on their owners' unease, but I wonder if dogs read our facial expressions (i.e. mouths) to determine if we're threatening, and therefore get a little anxious that they can't see my mouth.

But even the dogs have the sense to not get aggressive about it. Shame that can't be said for the humans you've run into.
