Feel bad for the greeter.....Not to stick up for the dog or owner...But it’s best to usually ask if the dog is friendly and let the dog sniff your hand before sticking your face right up to their nose......
Clouseau: Does your dog bite?
Hotel Clerk: No.
Clouseau: [bowing down to pet the dog] Nice doggie.
[Dog barks and bites Clouseau in the hand]
Clouseau: I thought you said your dog did not bite!
Hotel Clerk: That is not my dog.
