I'm not super good at identifying dogs, but it looked like a kind of hound or lab. It wasn't a shepherd type or anything like that. It wasn't intimidating at all. Probably around 30 lbs.

They walk back and forth after people walk through the area. 20' one direction, turn around 20' back.

I saw one react to a passenger in Miami. He started pulling on the leash and running like Scooby Doo. They pulled that guy aside. It looked like the same breed as in BDL.

Ah cool thanks for all the info. I love big dogs but probably less intimidating for most people to have 30lb dogs than German shepherds

It's mostly Labrador varieties I've seen at BDL, LGA, JFK, even the Staten Island Ferry (don't ask). Entirely anecdotal, but I've heard a few times it's due to the perception they're less threatening than German Shepherds or Belgian Malinois.

Yeah it can't be a good time for people who are afraid of dogs. But Labs will help with that even if just a little.
