I don't understand how can you NOT be afraid of him, even if he's friendly and trained the sheer theoretical possibility of him being able to bite your face off is terrifying

You don't understand because it's a phobia and therefore irrational, because that's not a rational line of thought.
Any person in the street could shank you dead if they wanted, why aren't you terrified of every human ever?

Dogs are some of the most intelligent beings on earth. As long as it's not a pit Bull just respect his boundaries and have fun with him
