The situation
Rosa saw a fluffy dog on a lead with its owner. She loved dogs and wanted to run straight over and cuddle it. But she remembered: even friendly-looking dogs might not want a surprise cuddle, so you always ask the owner first, and let the dog sniff your hand before you stroke it. (Feeling words: Excited · Careful)
