有一則都市傳說是這麼說的：「要和陌生的狗交朋友之前，要先讓牠聞聞你的手。」你曾經對狗這麼做過嗎？
這隻友善的手，在狗兒的眼裡，可能也是一隻充滿威脅的手。尤其是突然從高處下降，硬湊在狗鼻前的粗魯方式。狗兒不一定要近距離聞你的手才能認識你，牠可以聞聞你的褲管或週遭的氣味。
認識陌生狗兒較好的方式是忽略及被動，讓牠決定要不要更靠近你一些，同時仔細觀察狗兒的肢體語言（有無皺鼻、露牙、耳朵向後拉及緊繃的臉部線條等）。像我們家的柴犬若遇到喜歡的人類，會主動磨蹭對方，用屁股擺動來回撞，甚至直接鑽對方的褲擋 XDD
"The magical hand."
Sometimes well meaning people reach out with their hand to "make friends" with a dog. The idea is that if the dog can sniff their hand, the dog will eventually like that person.
This is also a great way to get bitten by some dogs. A reaching hand can be perceived as a threat and some dogs have learned that biting makes that hand go away very quickly!
A better option is to allow the dog to *come to you* if they are interested in sniffing, and simply ignore them until they give you indications that they are seeking an affiliative interaction.
Of course, if you are not sure about the dog's body language, OR there is a history of biting, OR you don't need to handle the dog at all, it is best to keep on walking by!
