I have a no petting other peoples dogs policy with my kids. I think it is sound judgement. I have no knowledge of the temperment of those dogs and I think owners have a to positive view of the behavior of their dogs around strangers. The first thing you here in every bite case is that their dog is so friendly and it was totaly out of character. I dont teach my kids to fear dogs and they can be around dogs they know but not strangers dogs.
Also to blame people who are afraid of dogs for getting bit is ridiculous. It is the owners fault.
My position has always been is that owners shoukd be criminaly liable for their dogs behaviour.
