[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dog is making friends with you. She's inhaling your scent and will remember you, probably for life. When I am walking her, if she hears a kid crying because they fell off their bike, she tries to bring me over to that part of the sidewalk even if we have to cross the street - she wants to go check on the kid and make sure they're okay and help them feel better. She - in her mind - is protecting her neighbors.

If you were allergic to bees, got stung by one, and were laying on the ground, she would go all Lassie on your ass and sniff you, recognize you as a friend, assess you were having a problem, come get me, and herd me to you (she's not a herding dog).

I think this kind of thing is great. I encourage it. If you tell me you or your child are afraid of dogs, I will make her sit and be calm so you can pet her without worrying. I love getting kids over their fear of dogs through my dog. (And if you're allergic, she has hair, not fur, so she's the hypoallergenic type). [/quote]

i try for my dog to be a dog ambassador with little kids, too. (an ambassadog, if you will.) most kids seem delighted, as do their parents.[/quote]
