I don't have kids, YET!!! But when I do, they Will be taught to ask any owners of any pet before they try to pet the animal!!!!!
Even now, when little ones come to us while we are walking, they go right for Luigi. I look at the mom or whoever is with them, and say- he's very nice, loves kids and loves to be petted. But I am amazed how many try to pet before knowing if the dog is nice or doesn't like to be bothered with! B/c- what would happen if the dog bit the kid? Of course their mother would probly blame us, the owner. And I would blame them, for not controlling their kids!
