to a dog your hands are also your mouth
in our world it is your hands that feed them
in theirs it is the jaws of their mothers fathers
so when they say dont bite the hand that feeds,
if you're with a dog and it looks like its gonna attack
most of the time its just nervous you're big and scary
kneel down into a ball draw everything in relax wait
you can look down but still see and if it gets close
without becoming calmer and coming to sniff a
slightly outstretched fist turned down so that
the knuckles, that it sees as your snout can
pretend to strike out when you use your
bark to see it off until it calms down x
if it's horses in a field running at you
stand still wait for them to split and
go either side of you they're just
scared really of something new
in their environment as we all
can be in a new place with
new people dont go to
them relax and have
fun and they'll come
to you when they're
good and ready we're
all inquisitive at heart so
let them ask the questions
you answer
them
