The Child Whisperer

While my mom was taking me for a walk, we were heading home, and I heard a little girl say "doggy."  Me being a people and child lover had to stop to get attention.  Mom asked the little girl and her mom if she wanted to pet me, and the little girl said yes.  I was all excited and started squirming, and the little girl backed off, so mom had to hold me so the girl would pet me.  She was giving me tiny pets, and the girl's mom says "I'm so proud, you've never pet a dog before!"  The mom was giving the girl high fives and as it turns out, the little girl has a huge fear of dogs and runs away whenever she sees one and she's never pet a dog before.  I couldn't let her keep that fear, so I let her pet me some more.  Then, since I'm such a good boy on my leash, mom let the little girl walk me!  Her mom was so excited that she took a picture of her walking me.  My mom was proud of me too, because she thinks it's a sad thing when children are afraid of dogs.  I told mom, nobody is afraid of me, I'm too cute!
