Ask permission before
petting someone else’s dog, no matter how small, cute or friendly
that dog may seem.
- There is no such thing as a "bad" breed of dog. Any type of dog can bite.
-
Do not try to hug
or kiss a dog - many dogs don't like it!
-
Do not stare into
a dog’s eyes - Staring a dog in the eyes tells him you want
to fight.
-
Do not approach
a dog you do not know.
-
NEVER run up to a strange
dog!
-
Do not pet dogs
who are:
-
Sleeping
-
Eating
-
Behind
Fences
-
Tied
Up/Chained
-
In Vehicles
-
Hurt or Sick
- Never enter a dog's yard or kennel
- even a dog you know - without an adult.
- Do not try to help a dog who is
trapped or tangled. Get an adult for help!
-
Do not chase or
tease dogs. If a dog moves away, he doesn't want to play.
- Do not take a dog’s food,
bones, or toys - even from a dog you know.
- If a loose dog approaches you,
DO NOT RUN OR SCREAM. Stand very still and quiet, with
your hands covering your face and eyes, until it goes away.
- Always act kindly and gently. Animals
have feelings, just like people.
