Thanks for commenting, Powell (and thanks to everyone else, too). I
believe that the child knew the dogs - I don't think they were his,
but his parents were standing right there, and they knew the owners of
the dogs.
Not that it necessarily matters.
A well socialized dog is a lot safer to be around than most people.

The cover page shows a young lady petting what is thought of as a "dangerous
breed" by many uneducated people.
This was taken at a birthday party. I'm not sure who was holding the dog's
leash, but was probably a child about the same age as the kid petting the
dog.
Neither child had met the amimal prior to that moment.
BTW, nice picture, Frank.
