The ears tell the story. Well, the eyes too.
That's what's great about dogs: they have expressive faces. Unlike cats, though they don't really need expressive faces because they don't have any emotions besides default and angry.
Pic #1 - 'Someone to pet me - yeah!'
Pic #2 - 'She didn't pet me. I'm so sad'
I doubt the dog was pissed - just disapointed.
This is a couple blocks from my house. There's no way I'm going to pet a strange dog unless the owner is around being very reassuring. But I did try to act nice to the dog. I'm guessing I said "Hello, puppy."
Rather Churchillian.
Palladian, how can you say cats have only two expressions? We have cat reading clinics daily around here, since my kids are still learning about our kittens. But even they know to watch the eyes (squinting is smiling, wide open is angry), the ears, and the tail. (A thumping tail can reveal things about mood that the face does not.)
I agree with Al; this pooch looks just a little disappointed, but with such a wrinkly face, it's hard to tell.
Last, I completely support your policy not to pet strange dogs whose owners are not in evidence. That's just (un?)common sense.
"I'm guessing I said "Hello, puppy."
That's it? "Hello puppy." Why so formal? That's your new best friend if you'll let her/him be.
That puppy will let you know if your attention is not welcome.
Looks like it's already interested in Ann Althouse.
#1: Pet me! Petmepetmepetme!
#2: Pet me? Please? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease........ *sob*

Heck, you don't even need a picture to tell *that*. It's a dog! :)
#1 You look like that Althouse lady my master keeps going on about...his name is DTL; I don't think u I can let u pet me...
#2 "But if u want to give me a bone, i guess it would b ok."
Ps. i do luv dtl, he just doesn't know it.
*i can let u pet me...
sorry still working out some spelling issues.
Um, you're so sure that dog is male...
Because of the demeanor---the attitude, I'm assuming?
Peace, Maxine

Since the dog is not wearing shorts and is standing on two legs, I would assume determining its gender to be a simple enough affair.
