Most People Don't Know How To Greet A Dog (You Probably Do These Things, Too)
It turns out we've been approaching new dogs the wrong way for...well, forever.
If you've ever greeted a pup only to be met with a growl or even a
bite, I hate to break it to you...it's not them, it's you. You see, most
people have no clue how to meet a new dog -- even as a dog owner
myself, I didn't know a few of these don'ts.
So in an effort to educate us all, dog illustrator and lover Lili Chin put together a handy little cheat sheet. If there's one thing
you should walk away knowing it's to never, ever, run up to a dog
squealing and start kissing them on their snout. Even a dog has a
personal bubble, people!
Here's the wrong -- and right -- way to meet a new dog.
Did you know not to hold your hand out? I always do that! But not
anymore. Hopefully we can all be a little more respectful of pooches
from now on
