Isn’t this a trope? I could well be off haha, but if so I wonder if this is where it started.

Ya, part of the reason palm down is important is that if a dog does bite, it is structurally easier for us to turn around and away. But at that point it’s just nasty stuff and nobody wants that. We want happy dogs! So far I’ve only been bitten twice and and no skin was broken (small dogs).
I really feel this. My job has me interacting with the public a lot, and sometimes they have dogs that want to come to me for pets or to say hi. I don’t always know if they are friendly and just have to position myself both to be attacked and to defend myself. It almost always leads to confused dogs. I’ll pet them a little, but won’t let them on me. Too risky in the places I work.
It is pretty great when I see camper and dogs again, and I know they are friendly, and the dogs seem to recognize me, and then we can dance haha.
I listened to a radio show a long time ago about someone who was trying to become a sommelier. I don’t remember all of the details, but they spoke with someone that mentioned tasting rocks. I guess if a Chardonnay has notes of oak, or petroleum like Rieslings, these folks have had closer encounters with those than some of us have had. Maybe an otter could provide some excellent feedback about how a wine has riparian aromas from a woodland stream with a clear, stony course.
To your health!
I don’t remember the movie well, but remember it being dark as well.
