    Dude… Don’t interact with a dog without the owner’s consent.

    That’s very bad behavior. Bad human!

      Yeah never interact with someone’s animal without the owner consent. Is not good.

        If you don’t have consent from an animal’s owner, do not interact with the animal. That’s not something good that you should do. Instead, get consent first.

          You should never under any circumstances interact with an animal unless you have the owners express permission. If you do, it will not be considered a good thing, it will in fact be a bad thing. It is imperative to seek consent first, preferably in writing if the situation allows.

    Don’t go powering people’s dogs without getting an okay from owner. You don’t know how friendly or skittish the dog is.

      Homeless people always seem to have the fucking sweetest dogs ever. I can see why many avoid shelters since they don’t allow dogs.

        I am a homeless advocate in San Diego. They do have some sweet dogs, but some are not at all sweet. I’ve been bitten by a couple of them while handing out water and snacks.

        The real problem is that there is an entire subculture of breeders among the homeless that refuse to get their pets spayed or neutered. I will be the first to admit that no one that is homeless, that I have ever met, would ever think about their needs before their dogs’ needs, so those pets aren’t living nearly as hard a life as their owners. That being said, we have too many dogs and cats in this country. I don’t know what the solution is. It’s inhumane to take their pets from them. It’s also inhumane to allow them to breed their pets willy-nilly, causing even more stray and feral dogs.

        I can imagine when society sees you as a problem rather than the situation you’re in, having a companion who loves you unconditionally becomes a lot more important.

    I am absolutely terrible at remembering people’s names, even mere seconds after meeting them and introducing ourselves

    But I most certainly remember their dog’s name and will refer to them as “dog-name’s human.”

    Speak for yourself, I wanna know the dog’s name, their breed, how old they are, and their favourite treats, and the owner has to talk for me to learn that info. Also, you know, asking permission to pet first is important.
