My wife had Heidi in a store one time when she was young and a lady came up to her and said , do you want me to hold your dog while you look around, she thought for a second the lady was trying to be nice, but then had a little touch of mothers intuition and thought what if this person has alterier motives. She politely declined the ladies offer. You just never know who could be lurking out there do you.
