[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teach your child to ask: May I pet your dog? from an appropriate distance. You can ask anyone who doesn't look busy, but don't be upset if they don't have time or if their dog is not friendly. Be mindful of their time when petting.[/quote] This. Ask first from a distance. I have a dog that may look cute and friendly but has some serious anger issues when approached by strangers. She has and will bite as she is scared (shelter dog here). There have been plenty of parents letting cute little Johnny run up to the "nice cute doggie" and let their kid grab at her without asking. They are never greeted by a tail-wagging, friendly dog.
