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.

  • Last year an American bulldog  savagely attacked a little girl on a scooter in an underpass near where I live. The dog was off the lead, the owner was no-where to be seen, and the dog would not leave the child alone. When the child (I think she was only 3) started to cry, the dog jumped at her and attacked her. She recovered, but her mum suffered bite wounds as well, as she tried to get the dog away. It took two brave school kids to kick the dog off the child. The dog was put down.

    This goes to show that dogs can attack with very little provocation.
