Margaret Mcnaughton said: "I think it is polite if people ask to pat the dog first then it is up to the owner to say yes or no ... you cant just always blame the people that own the dogs.
"When my son sees a dog while we are walking I always tell him to ask the owner first so there are responsible people out there too."

Sally Lewis said: "I have beware of dog and dog on loose signs on my gate, you can't miss them, yet some people still will just open the gate and walk to the door.
"Really how dumb can you be? The last one I told him he was stupid for not heeding the signs, my dogs guard me when I'm at home, it is their job so not my fault if you get scared or bitten (not that my dogs bite but, well, any dog can bite)."
