As both a parent and dog owner I deal with both sides. While my dog isn't small he's very fuzzy and everyone wants to pet him very few ask. I tell those who don't ask "no" adult or child. My child had to be taught that just because our dogs don't need his permission others do. I find I dislike people of all ages who can't be respectful.
