Do you pet dogs you don't know?

First off, I think it's WRONG to leave your dog in a public place without someone you know watching it. Any moron could come up, feed your dog something, take the dog, or do something to the dog without you knowing! I don't approach the dog unless i know it, or it seems happy and friendly, otherwise i won't go near. I'm very cautious if i do go near, only staying far away reaching out with my hand... normally when i dog licks ya it's ok I don't think anyone would dare touch Simba if he was by himself.

AGREED! I don't like it when they just leave their dogs in the back of a truck and go into the store either. Well, I don't like people who let dogs ride in the back of a truck PERIOD.

I would never, ever, leave one of my dogs in a public place unattended.

This may sound odd but I am afraid of "strange" dogs...my wife can't believe it and she always tells me "don't show fear"...but for some reason I'm fearful of them...

so I usually don't pet other dogs
