[Artemisia] pets at events

I love dogs, but have to comment on the statement below.  The dogs may have been harmless when their owner was present, but any dog that bares their teeth (never mind the barking-that is usually no indication) and charges (no matter how small) is anything but harmless. You behaved in a responsible and appropriate manner and if the dogs owner couldn't see that, they may find themselves with a law suite from an injury or death caused by their "harmless" dogs.

<snip> It reminds me of a situation I encountered earlier this summer while  
geocaching with my wife - we were walking through the woods, hunting a  
cache, and were suddenly confronted by two labrador retrievers, both  
barking furiously, baring teeth, and making small aggressive charges  
towards us. <snip? stated that the dogs were "harmless" and  
wouldn't hurt us. <snip>
