[nagdu] How do any of you deal with small children wanting to touch your guide dog

[Buddy Brannan]

Oops. I also wanted to say. Yeah, she'll get over it. And, you're not there to be on display for anyone. Your dog isn't either. Not even for four-year-old kids. If this mother doesn't understand that you may have other priorities than to stop and let her kid pet your dog, that really isn't your problem. If you choose to do so, that's also your prerogative. I'm sure someone will think I should lighten up, or I eat children for breakfast, or something. LOL

>> The other day this lady got mad at me for not letting her 4 year old touch my guide dog.  I kind of felt bad afterwards, do you think It was rong for me to tell her no?  I tried to be as polite as Possible.  Do any of you have any tips on what I should next time that happens again.<Owner.vcf>_______________________________________________
