I typically don't mind if someone just wants to pet Toby. If it's a child that appears well behaved I will tell them to be gentle because he's little and they could hurt him.If it's a child that is obviously a brat I just tell them no.
Years ago my wife and I lived next door to a lady that had a sweet little girl named Sara with downs syndrome that loved to pet our mixed terrier Buddy.I think at first Buddy could sense something was wrong with her and was a little tense but was still a little gentleman.Over time however he grew to love Sara and I think he really missed her after we moved.Man I miss that little fella.
