In my case, none.  I am partially sighted and would know. In my 
experience, if they say they won't, they don't. And they often scold 
other people who act as if they're going to pet Chase.

I find it's particularly true if it's a couple. If the guy moves to pet 
Chase, the woman will stop him and tell him he's not supposed to.  She 
will even point to the sign.

Craig and Chase

I tell them I know how hard it is not to pet him and that's why I got the sign. They seem to understand. There still is the occasional person who either doesn't see the sign or chooses to ignore it. Them I just shame.
