This is a great post and so true.
The problem it seems is that you are "preaching to the choir".`
You will get dog owner's that "demand" that they can hug and play kissy face with their dogs....and they do not understand why their dog does not like it.
I have one dog that does not mind a quick hug....and the other hates it. I would never ask her to like it, or demand it from her.
If people would treat their dogs like dogs, life would be so much better.
