Chewie and I were at Port Discovery in his first year of visits. I remember a lady telling her daughter to pet him. The little girl was afraid, so she initially declined. After I showed her how sweet and well behaved he was, she started petting him on his back. Eventually she moved to petting him on the head. I said to the mother why don’t you pet him? She backed up and said “oh, no” and that she was afraid of dogs.  She hesitated briefly and very slowly reached down to pet him. After a couple of minutes a big smile broke out on her face. Score 2 for Chewie. Then the lady really surprised me and said that she might get a small dog now.
