We take one of ours to the pub...and when people ask can they stroke him is he alright i say...tbh i am not sure until you do it...the dog smells fear and plays on it...if your a dog person you will know not to bring the hand down from above the dog.....
thats a good point mate!dogs do play on fear and unless you are completely comfortable with animals they DO know it.but also the point made on the papers is to a degree true too.they do change the headlines to keep people interested,but also alan s1 has a point about other animals.animals such as parrots can do alot of damage still even if they cant kill,and to be fair there is more chance of an attack from a parrot!
not that i have anything against parrats because i will be getting one soon but i always do my homework on things before getting involved!
