Well... for the other side of the story I guess some people don't see dogs as their kids like others do. I grew up on a farm in Arkansas and when I moved to Virginia it was the first experience I had w/ people treating their dogs like people. While I am coming around on the treating them like people thing... I have to defend the fact that there are those of us who are raised to believe dogs are animals... not people...lol. These people don't realize they are doing anything worng. They are just being friendly... ya'll may hate it... but it is a complement. I would NEVER EVER let someone walk up and touch or hold my skin baby... but after my puppies are completely through w/ their shots...I don't have a problem w/ anyone touching them. And in the south..."let me see him/her" means I want to hold him or her.... just like when you are playing w/ a toy and you say "let me see it"....
Don't get me wrong... I wouldn't let someone walk away w/ my dog... or let a drunk hold them... but Chloe adores being held... petted... made over... she just gets a little perkier... |
