We humans are quite different. It is rude when you don't look at me in my eyes when talking to me. :p
A few times I had small dogs "chasing" after me as I pass their house on the sidewalk, but ran away when I turned around.
You know, I don't think it's an "appearance" so much as it's the vibs they pick up from an individual, because they will love a homeless person just as they would a rich person, but they can sense your vibes. My Chihuahua Tippy went after my neighbor one time when she came to get her cat who'd jumped over the fence, but he didn't bother her until she started to show fear towards him, the he literally backed her up against the fence and big her heel. Once I got her to calm down and show some confidence, he didn't bother her again.
Think about it, when we get around new people we can sometimes get bad vibes from them, you don't know why but you do, or really good ones. You can generally tell if that person is someone you like and want to be around or if you should be weary of them. Dogs are the same way only they are more sensitive to it than we are. Just like when you're sick and your dog seems to follow you everywhere and wants to be right next to you every minute of the day and cuddle you. They approach you differently because they can sense something is wrong.
