Who doesn't love to pet a cute, furry dog? KUSI's Kerri Sargent reminds you that not all dogs and pets like the attention.

- Never go near a dog that is growling or showing its teeth

- Always ask the owner for permission to touch their dog

- Wait to be introduced - even when it's on a leash.

- If you see a dog walking around, without its owner, don't run up to it. Instead go find a grownup for help

- Keeping these guidelines in mind will keep you safe while having fun with animals
