The dog stared at the young girl standing a couple feet in front of him when he turned around to leave.
“Puppy! Wait up!!” Without thinking, she moved quickly towards him, then suddenly froze as she remember what her mother had taught her about other people’s dogs.
You always have to ask before petting them; then let them sniff you first.
Manon looked around for a person to ask about the dog… but there didn’t seem to be anyone around. At least she could try to do the second part like she’d been told.
“C’mere, boy!!” She put one hand on her knee and bent down to his height, holding her other hand out for him to sniff. With any luck he would come back over and she would be free to pet him all she liked!!
