It is definitely a personal preference thing.  I don't let anyone pet
Brie while she is in harness because she gets easily distracted by
people she knows.  Sometimes people pet her anyway, but that's just
something we all have to deal with.  I think the dog is easier to
handle than the people in those situations.  :)
