Roxey is similar in certain ways. She knows if someone is really a dog person or not.
My cousin came down from Michigan last week (he's just not a dog person). Well he came in and all 3 dogs just kind of smelled at him & walked away. They weren't scared, they must of just sensed that he didn't want to pet them.
Actually Huney really liked this (since she is shy of strangers ). After a couple of hours, she was begging him to pet her!
I think dogs just know who they like and who they don't!
