I think people should ask, but they often don't, which is fine with P-Nut, but not with Pickles depending on the gender of the person. Pickles can snap if a man he doesn't know bends down to pet him. Not always, but often. Last weekend, I took P-Nut walking in our downtown area which is very dog friendly and many people petted him without asking which freaked me out. He's a love bug, so it was ok except when three kids wanted to pet him at once. He's scared of young children (me too! Hahaha), so I picked him up and explained it was just too much activity for him. I also pick the boys up if there's a big dog near by. I think we have to be constantly on guard with these little guys.
