We could also rigg the dog up alla robo cop, when some one comes to near to
the dog  a voice sounds off, step away from the dog, do not pet the dog,
move slowly but deliberately  away from the dog. And then we just go on our
merry way. lol.

In my younger days, when crowds were following me and my yellow Lab
around, I had a bang up fantastic idea of stopping the petting. Never
did it since I figured that it would have gotten even the PETA people
mad. Basically, I would design electrodes to put on the dog in key
areas liek the head, and whenever someone reached down to pet the dog,
the dog would get a tickling sensation but the human would get
shocked. Then I could offer some wise words, like, "I told you not to
pet him." Anyone interested in doing such a project? :)
