How do you feel about strangers petting your dog?

[Luxion]

I know I am perhaps guilty of this at times myself, but sometimes I can't help but stroke other people's dogs. My dog lives in a different city and there's nothing better than fussing a friendly dog. Helps with my dog-withdrawal symptoms! How do you feel about strangers stroking your pet when you're out and about? Do people ask? Have you had any bad experiences?

I don't think there's anything unusual with that. Honestly, it's normal so why bother. For as long as you're not harming other dogs then you are fine and for as long as you're not intimidating other pet owners.

I never had a bad experience. It is nice when ppl ask but it is not necessary and it makes my dog really happy

Usually in such case it was a positive impact only.

I'm not crazy about it, at times. Others, it's fine. It depends on the context. If my dog(s) and I are out for exercise or training, no. I don't want to be bothered. If we're out at a restaurant, event, etc., then I don't mind. Provided they ask first. I've been known to get EXTRA snarky when an adult decides to get grabby with the dogs without being polite and asking me first. Same with anything else, if it's not yours, don't touch without asking. Besides.. The pit bull is fine, but the GSD might take a finger off if you catch her wrong.
