I have to admit I was not aware of this until I met Cara and Sarah and they opened my eyes to it completely. My young fellow is mad about dogs and I would have been one of the people telling their children to go over and pet the dog. I will not do that now. It is certainly not in people's minds in the same way as it is for guide dogs for visually impaired people. Huge work needs be done around that.
