Default so what dogs CAN we touch?

I gather that many folks on this group feel that no one should touch
any dog without the owner's permission. Even if the dog is staked out
in public and is begging for attention.

That just seems like cruel and inhuman punishment. To doglovers!

I guess I'm puzzled at the notion that some people with dogs that
don't like people (or don't like to be touched by people) still stake
them out in public. As well as the notion that it is impossible for a
savvy dogperson to know what strange dog it's safe to touch.

Though I see the point of people being protective of their dogs, and
feeling that strangers have no more right to pet them without
permission then they do to kiss their children.

So, are there any circumstances where it's ok to touch a dog not your
own?
