Looking at Richard Gere?
This is seriously true at least for babies in shopping carts and dogs walking with their owners. As a grandmother, I always oogle darling babies in shopping carts with their moms and if you tilt your head, and smile and go back and forth a little, they will always, always smile and have eye contact with you. The same is true with strange to me dogs. Speak low and cock you head sideways and the dogs will wag their tale and sidle right up to you. Experience proves something:-)
