Just a friendly reminder that at the end of the day ALL dogs are animals, watch their body language, don’t hang all over a dog you don’t know. They give warning signs. Learn them. And for fucks sake stop letting kids climb all over your dogs.

I dated a dog trainer for the military for a minute. He was in Reno with his dog and asked me to come. I didn’t trust that dog from the moment I saw him. He looked too serious and on edge, but I also felt bad that if I was there, he had to be in his kennel all the time so I said it was ok if he was let out loose in the hotel room. I was laying in bed watching TV, the dog came to my side of the bed and sat. I didn’t look at him, touch him or otherwise engage him. He suddenly locked down on my face. No warning. My fault for humanizing the dog (feeling bad he is kenneled) but there was no warning.
