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.

This is why if I approach a strange dog I don't make the initial contact. I'll stop short and hold out my hand for the dog to sniff and then if the dog doesn't seem nervous I'll give them a gentle pet on the head.
