What would you do in a situation like that? Adie was on her leash and I had a hold on it but still...... |
I would be honest and say, "I'm sorry but I don't allow strangers to hold my dog," or if you want to be polite, you can say, "I'd rather you didn't pick her up. She's very squirmy with people she doesn't know and I don't want you to drop her."
