[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously? Your default assumption is that everyone is a “typical dog friendly person?”  Retractable leashes should be banned.[b] And you shouldn’t let random children get in your dog’s face, either. [/b][/quote]

:roll: I'm not going to deny that joy. I love petting other people's dogs and they love petting mine. I'm not petting a pitbull or anything scary but cute breeds are fair game.[/quote]

Others have sufficiently addressed the entitlement in your post, but I have to chime in on this because it’s just straight up dangerous. Please read up on kid-dog interactions. Dog Meets Baby on Instagram is a great resource. The vast majority of dogs have not been socialized to be around kids, and the vast majority of owners are not well-versed enough in dog body language to be able to interpret when a kid is making their dog uncomfortable. There’s a reason most people whose dogs have bitten kids say “it came out of nowhere!” No it didn’t, they just didn’t know how to read the signs. [/quote]
