the dog is aggressive

I still don't understand the lengths that people will go to to justify touching someone's dog without permission, so let me break this down:

It is really dumb to touch or approach an animal you do not know without clear confirmation that it is alright for you to do so.

It is incredibly gross and entitled to touch somebody else's belongings without direct permission from them.

A strangers pet is literally both a strange animal and somebody's property. Do not touch without permission.

"But if they're walking their dog in public they obviously want their dog to be pet-" NOPE! Nu-uh. That is blatantly untrue. Some quick reasons why somebody might have their dog in public and may not want people approaching and petting the dog:

The dog is a service animal

They couldn't get anyone to watch the dog but still needed to run an errand

They've been out all day and are done socializing and just want to finish up what they're doing

The dog is becoming stressed and they need to get away from people

They just got the dog and are slowly acclimating it to public situations and want to keep interactions as controlled as possible

They think you look suspicious, irresponsible or intimidating and don't want you putting your hands on their pet

They are traveling with the dog and are just taking it out for some fresh air

They are a normal person who doesn't want a stranger touching their dog without asking permission
