and acted awesome!
Saturday night, I was about to go for a walk with Phenix, my bf and a friend.
Suddently and out of nowhere, a 10 years old girl came running and yelling at me "Lady, is this your dog?". I answered "Yes it is....". She than asked me if she could pet him. I was unsure. It was night (around 11hp.m.). I was afraid that Phenix could react baddly because, in general, he is more fearful at night and bark at strangers...No strangers ever pet him before...especially during night!
I took a quick look at him. He was relaxed, ears back, slowly breathing. I asked the little girl to come with me under a light, so Phenix could see us.
My bf came near us with Phenix on side. When Phenix saw her, he did nothing, he was only curious. He sat beside her. She started pettting him on the head (she had a very good energy, sure of herself), than on the back and....Phenix was in paradise!
She gave him a few hugs to which Phenix responded by a few kisses
. She was in adoration! She told us she had a Labrador before, which she is missing so much.....she told us she like big dogs like our.
We remained there for a good 15 minutes while she was petting Phenix and Phenix was licking her all over lol.
I felt good. My boy seems to be very very good with kids. She was holding her head, giving him hugs, she was touching him everywhere....I wasn't sure at first, I was on guard and a little bit stressed, but he didn't make a single movement, nor a noise, nothing! He was sitting there, completely relax and enjoying the moment!
How is your dog with kids?
