One of mine (the one in the avatar) will ask to be picked up if he feels the need, but I don't always do it. If he's been growled at or trodden on, it's all part of being a little dog so he can just suck it in.

There's a bloke at my end of Great Harwood who takes three staffies for a "walk" (he uses a mobility scooter) along the old railway. The dogs are rough but not aggressive, and my two seem to accept that. It's the scooter that scares them.
