Funny how most answers don't really consider that. :-/ | |

So it's incredibly important to ask the dog owner whether they can pet the dog or not as you don't know the history of the animal or how they react. Plus, always go to the dog with the back of your hand facing them, let them sniff. It's a non-threatening way of saying hello to them, at which point you can scratch their back. | |
