Loves me some Coach Walz ... He asked to say hi to a dog from the owner.

I just saw a clip (msnbc) of Coach W in North Carolina where he was greeting people
and asked somebody, “Is it OK if I say hi?” He then leaned down to get some
doggie kisses (lab puppy I think) and then thanked the owner.

He is a true dog lover and good man.
Can you imagine Trump bending over and petting any dog?
Can you imagine him bending over at all?
Any good dog would bite the bad man.

… the people around them. Asking the dog’s owner if it was Ok for him “to say hi” which
showed respect and an understanding of dogs too.

"hi" to a new animal, even if the tail is already wagging. And, if I happen to have treats, I absolutely ask their humans' permission.
