I’ve said this before, and been called crazy, but I can see in almost every dimension of modern existence (~ last 100 years) how individuals are being isolated further and further from each other, by design. The last thing a capitalist or power hungry politician wants is unity and solidarity among common people.
Keeping my dogs away from others in public is, in my opinion, a considerate responsibility to the community in recognition of diverse preferences. So, I am very careful not to let my dogs engage with people unless the person approaches us. When they do, our little pack loves it 🙂
