Two dachshunds are at a cafe, refilling their humans.

Me: I suppose they’re a bit snappy?

Dachshund-carer: No they like people. They’re good with people. It’s big dogs that are the problem.

Me: Little dogs all hate big dogs. And they think they can take them.

Laughter.

Pats, chin rubs, and the smaller dachshund stands both front paws on my foot.
