I recall when kids were little & we would be on vacation missing dogs terribly. We would always approach dog owners, explain, & beg for a "fix" of some petting time.

Of course, being dog people they always understood & happily shared their beloved companions to a brief fix.

I hope she gets a new pupper soon.

How could anyone resist dropping to their knees and petting her! (unless youve got a bad back like mine, then I’d find a seat somewhere so I could pet her)
