I adore shelties, but my response at that age would have been, "May I say hello?" and waiting till I got permission to hold my hand out.

Five things observe with care,
To whom you speak,
Of whom you speak,
And how, and when, and where.

I was bit by a puppy as a child and have the scar on my lip to prove it!

With my own kids, I have drilled into them that they should never pet a strange dog without the owner's permission (and was very proud when DS5 asked someone once if he could pet her dog  :D) and they also know the proper way to pet a kitty ("head to tail, right Mommy?").  It's parenting 101 - keep your kids safe.
