Once I was in a restaurant with a friend who had a guide dog, hallf German
shephere and half German police. The dog was a good worker but did not like
sudden moves. A man at our table dropped the lid to the catsup bottle on
the floor under the table. The dog was under there, and his partnner warned
the man not to get the top because the dog might bite. Well, the man did
not listen and the dog bit him. Since there were witnesses that the man had
been warned, the man did not press charges, but did need a few stitches.

I don't mind if people ask to pet my dog, particularly if he is laying down
somewhere, or if I am in a familiar place, like my church, at Western, or at
my job this summer. In fact Judson knows the command "Go say hi" and knows
he is allowed to be a dog, when I give that command.
Now... I do need to reinforce this sigh, at the church though as a couple of
the girls are taking liberties.
But I don't have a problem with people who ask if I have the time.
But if I say NO there is a reason why I am saying NO, and please respect
that, smile.
Some people don't.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Sometimes, in the right circumstances, I ask people who are not blind if I
can pet their dog. Therefore, it would seem normal for me to ask someone who
is
in blind, in the right circumstances, if I could pet his or her dog. Now, I
know not to do this, anymore. I think that the sign helps because it is a
natural inclination to pet dogs.
