Dear Big, Tough Looking Dude at the dog park,
When I told you Pip was shy, and he huffed at you, you squatted down and ignored him while you and I chatted about shy dogs. You continued to ignore him while he gave you a good 360 degree sniffing. Then when he was done sniffing and came up for a pet, you gently scratched him under his chin until he cuddled into you for a good butt scratch.
My shy dog does not get nearly enough of this kind of treatment from strangers. Thank you. Thankyouthankyouthankyou. Seriously, I cannot thank you enough, from the very bottom of my heart.
Love,
A shy dog's person

Seriously awesome, though. I love when people exceed expectation with anticipating dog behaviours.
