Yes 1000 times!!! Why dont parents do this?? I've also had several encounters in which an adult will ask permission and after I respond with "sorry no, it's not worth any risk" they still approach and touch my dog!

Insane that you are even allowed to have an animal that can murder people

Lol what? She bit my awful dad one time after he got physically aggressive with her. Do i think my golden retriever would actually hurt anyone who approaches for pets? No. Am i willing to avoid interaction with strangers out of respect for her and other people? Yep.
