“This woman, like so many who have limited experience with animals, thinks of animals as little people. Unfortunately for her, they aren’t.”
All very good points, but I would add that you also shouldn’t go up to “little people” strangers and kiss them on the first meeting, either. Oh well, I suppose she learned a lesson that day that she will remember.
True, but little people probably won’t bite your upper lip off if you do...;-)
