When someone gets within range with an attitude like that, I've never felt comfortable enough to allow him to be there.
If you look, you'll see the vet didn't actually have his hands down for long, but had them in front of his body in a vaguely non-threatening position.
Still, he did let the [censored] get too close, too often. On the flip side, he also avoided any potential lawsuit or legal problem.
