felinesaresuperior

I found out that many times i pat a dog, and its owner comments that it usually doesnt let anyone pat it. feral cats seem to favor me over other people as well. 

i just wonder what others experience is. 

Parents

  • I would say the fault lies more with the dog owner than the parents and innocent, inquisitive children. As IntenseWorld has previously posted, dogs are domesticated wolves, and some dogs will display wolf like behaviour when approached by a stranger. Not all dogs will behave like this, but a responsible owner should be mindful of other people in public places and assume ultimate reponsibility.  If a child approached an aggressive, drunken lout and was hit, the drunken lout would end up with a court order. It should not be any different if an aggressive dog attacks a child, in proxy of an owner who should be in control of their pet.
