I would just like to understand why my dog seems to see me as her person and not another animal she must fight or escape from.

Dogs evolved to live as pack animals. The pack would work together to hunt prey and it was important for the members of the pack to have strong bonds with each other in order to be effective and look out for each other. Humans are somewhat similar. Your dog sees you as the leader of her pack and as such develops a very strong emotional bond with you.
