@0xDokki But for someone who hasn't chosen to study to become a dog nerd (and why should everyone have to?), and was bitten as a child, how do you tell the difference? Best to assume they're all dangerous until proved otherwise. Like the small Sudanese girl who was terrified of our perfectly harmless pet corn snake. She had been correctly trained - all she needed to know for normal everyday life in Khartoum[#] was that snakes are dangerous, keep away from them. [#] Before the civil war.

    @TimWardCam wait, best to WHAT?! Nah. I mean, yeah be prudent with any unfamiliar animal, but also “No!” because dogs are usually accompanied by someone who knows them. I ask. There’s a whole microcosm of fun one can get out of life just introducing oneself to folks’ dogs. @0xDokki
