Dog Safety with Kids

The American Kennel Club offers these suggestions to kids on how to greet a dog.

1) Approach the dog and its owner slowly. Children should not attempt to befriend dogs who are not accompanied by their owners.

2) Ask the owner if the dog is friendly. Take his or her word for it.

3) If the dog is friendly, kneel down in front of it. Close your fist with the palm facing down.
