I swear, I just don't know what the hell people are thinking sometimes! We took Samantha to Petsmart to get a toy and to socialize this past weekend. She had a great time, saw other dogs, cats and tons of people - she loves it. She met quite a few children and most of the parents ask if it is OK for their kids to pet her, which is good. Of course it is OK with us but I prefer them to ask to teach the kids not to approach strange dogs, KWIM? So anyway, I am standing there and Sam is in a sit/stay watching dogs and people. This kid comes up to her - he is about 6 or 7 - looks her straight in the eye and GROWLS at her! WTF??? First of all - WHY is this kid in a pet store and secondly WHY did his dad allow him to do this??? He starts walking toward Sam so I did the only thing I could do - released her from her sit stay and made her heel and walk away with me. THEN we are outside at Petsmart cuz they have all the dogs for adoption out there and Sam is again in a sit/stay just watching the dogs, people and cars go by, etc. Here comes this jackass with his kid and AGAIN the kid looks Sam straight in the eye and growls at her! His dad says NOTHING! I could chalk the first time up to maybe he didn't see what his kid did but this time he was right next to him so there was no way he could miss it! I turned Sam and walked down the sidewalk until they were in their car and driving away.
I just don't get it and since they were in Petsmart I am going to assume they have SOME kind of pet - whatever it is I feel sorry for it!!
