Is petted a word?
Petted is a word.I got into a debate with my six year old daughter about this today. It shows up in the online dictionary, http://www.thefreedictionary.com/petted , and in an old 1984 Webster dictionary. Petted is definitely a word.petted is not a wordNo it is pronounced pet because petted doesn't make since when you say you petted the dog. When you say I pet the dog it makes more sense.I beg to differ, when you say "I pet the dog." it implies present tense or something you would do now. Using pet in a different way one could say "I was petting the dog." But for some sentences petted would be appropriate, "The dog was petted yesterday." is grammatically correct especially when compared to "The dog was pet yesterday." As you can probably see, the second variation implies present tense but does not agree with the tense implied by yesterday. Lastly, one who really wishes to explore this topic might check any dictionary under the inflected forms of the verb pet.

How come you can't pet a guide dog?
Guide dogs, like all service dogs, are always working when in public. While they may be standing still, they are watching what goes on around them and listening/waiting on commands from their handler. Just like a cop looking for a bad guy, they are always busy. Most service dogs don't want to be petted because it distracts them. They can be looking for danger if they are busy getting petted. It is important to always ASK before petting any dog. The handler may says yes, the handler is then aware not to rely on the dog while it's being petted and will wait for you to finish. Most handlers will say no, since they are usually trying to go somewhere or are busy with their routine.
