Ask First Poem by Lauren Coles

Pets are part of everyone's lives,
But not everyone is a dog person,
People might've been bitten by a dog as a child,
Dogs might look friendly but they might have no manners,
You might be a adult now but you might have scars from the past,
Just like humans you have to take your pets to the doctor,
People don't care about getting their dogs vaccinated,
Kids are absentminded and extend their hand without consent from the owner.
The appropriate thing to do is ask first and then after you pet them you should wash your hands so it'll kill all the germs that the animal might have.
