is your dog a people magnet ??????

If i was a few years younger I know that I would not have any trouble meeting chicks. Koko is a chick magnet or should I say a people magnet.
No matter where I go she draws in people of all sorts and sizes. The first comment is "beautiful dog", then we always get "what is she". Once I was going through a bank drive thru and not only did they give her treats
but 2 tellers ran out of the bank just to pet her. I could write a book on people encounters I've had because of Koko.

i would like for you all to relate their people encounters stories because of their pet. I have found my dog brings me close to people that I would otherwise just pass unnoticed.

I always get comments on how beautiful Zoee is. And especially about her eyes being different colors. And they ask what breed she is. Or some make the guess and say - she's an Aussie, right? I've educated a lot of people on the breed. It's so much fun!
I haven't been out too much with Taggart, but he has a way of melting anyone. He goes up to them, sits right at their feet and leans into them for loves.

Mine attract people too.
When I used to bring them to work, the strangest encounter was with a guy walking opposite direction of me. He said hi and proceeded to ask how much I wanted to sell Beenie for....

I usually walk the both of them in the afternoon. Well since Frankie had his surgery on Jan. 20th I can't take him for walks yet (at least for another month or so). Well, while I walk Beenie, people I don't know stop me to ask: 'Where is the other one? Is he ok?'

My dogs both get the same response from anyone seeing them. And they love the extra petting they get no matter from who.

Shawnee gets all the attention among my pooches 'cause everyone thinks she is still a puppy even though she is two and a half years old (she looks like a little German Shepherd rather than German Shepherd/Border Collie mix).
