I don't trust all animals. I trust all of my animals, and I know their limits. My dog Star, for example, is bad with strangers so she usually wears a soft Nylon muzzle when I walk her. The problem with many people is, they DO trust all animals. Several times, someone (usually a child with a parent nearby) have run up to my dog. Why would a parent not stop this? It just seems like idiocy. My mother taught me at a very young age to ASK ASK ASK before petting someone else's dog, and even then to stay away from its face.

I work with a lot af reptiles and 'bugs'. Many of these are very unpredictable, mostly because it can be hard to read the signals they are giving you. I have had a few unpleasant snakebites resulting from my overly trusting nature, and I have learned to be more cautious.

On the other hand, when soneone sees my 20" Hognose (Who has the CUTEST face) sitting calmly in my arms and screams.... I don't get it.

One more random note: I do NOT trust Dalmations. I have met five in my life, and have been bitten/attacked by four of them. In my opinion they are stupid, inbred, and can't be trusted. Just my $0.02 ^_^
