Does Ozzy like when kids want to pet him while he’s working? Or does he have a bit of “peasants please I’m on the clock” superiority about it?
Ozzy interacts with children a lot since Steve works at a school and he likes kids. Being touched or petted by kids is a pretty normal part of his working day because it’s used more as a reward system for both Ozzy and the children. If a kid answers a really difficult question or does well on a test, they can pet Ozzy. It’s not super distracting for the kids or for Ozzy, and Steve allows it to happen.
Out in public, Ozzy is still sweet to kids because he’s kinda conditioned to be and because Steve never really puts up a fight when kids want to pet him. Steve has a hard time telling people not to pet Ozzy when they’re out so Ozzy doesn’t really have a problem with it unless someone is being aggressive or he can sense that something is wrong with Steve.
The problem is that when people treat him like an off-duty dog, it’s distracts him from his main objective: keeping Steve safe. There has not yet been a time where Ozzy was distracted or separated from Steve in public, but that’s what Eddie worries about when Steve doesn’t tell people to let Ozzy do his job.
