    The puppy locked eyes with me, and that was it- wagging her tail, tongue out, smiling, trying to pull the husband in my

    direction. I paused my jog and ran over to ask if I could say hello, and they said of course, the puppy wouldn't have allowed me not to lol

    the same... instant warm feelings? that dogs and all animals do for me. This is to say, I've never really been the type to coo at babies. I don't hate or dislike them at all, I just regard them in the same way I regard all strangers regardless of age.
