Ugh. So annoying! I guess I'm one of those "dog people" that finds kids pestering dogs to be super annoying. Whereas "kid people" find dogs in general to be a nuisance. lol. Anyways, I LOVE when kids actually ask "can I pet your dog!?" first because Jackson is nervous around kids, yet curious, and I am working hard on socializing him. So it always puts us one step back when an obnoxious kid won't leave him alone or comes up behind him and surprises him, etc. I realize kids will be kids, but dogs will also be dogs... the sad thing is when a dog bites a kid who was being obnoxious, it's the DOGS fault.
