[nagdu] Please don't pet me, I'm working.

[The Pawpower Pack]

Raven, 
In my experience, people read the sign and pet anyway if they are the type of person to pet. The whole while remarking something like : 
"I know I'm not supposed to pet you, but..."
In my experience, the people who tell you to get a sign are the people who are not taking responsibility for their own behavior.  If a dog is in a harness or cape, it's working. Use the eyesight the Goddess gave you. 
Also, I tell people like this that they should never pet a strange dog without asking first.  I don't care how cute it is. 
I do like the signs for the little pocket most of them have, but don't currently have one because I also don't like the way it messes up the balance of my guide handle.
