[Dailydrool] Vests to wear walking dogs

[Esther Strom]

What bugs me even more than that are parents who tell their kids to go 
pet the doggie, without asking the owner if the doggie would like to be 
petted. Basil is the most tolerant dog I've ever known, so he's fine 
with it, but Waldo absolutely hated kids. If I saw them coming I'd cross 
the street, but there were still parents who didn't get the picture and 
would come charging across, talking all the while about how much the 
doggie would love to have his ears petted. This particular doggie would 
have taken the kids' hands off if they'd tried. You can't expect kids to 
understand without being told, but adults should know better, and 
parents like this always get a loud lecture from me. How many take it to 
heart, I don't know.
