We took Scarlett to Mall of America over the weekend....some grubby/nasty kids came up wanting to pet her...I was not impressed as I had just watched them punch/hit/kick and be nasty to their siblings.
I said she was a service dog---and couldn't be touched! She is providing a service to me----all the puppy love I want!
She is very social-I just felt I needed to protect her from rough housing.
