Here's why you should NEVER pet Jennifer Lawrence's dog

From Digital Spy

Jennifer Lawrence doesn't seem to be a huge fan of being in the spotlight 24/7, and was less than thrilled when a TMZ reporter recently greeted her at the airport and peppered her with questions about her plane making an emergency landing.

But while she initially kept her head down and focused on getting into her waiting car, the reporter attempted to pet her dog, Pippi – which prompted Lawrence to stop, scoop the puppy up, and muse: "Don't touch my dog, you f**king loser."

Which seems fair to us.

Lawrence has been chastised for being rude to reporters before – Twitter was not thrilled when she told a member of the press to stop looking at their phone – but, for what it's worth, the TMZ employee seems to find the entire thing pretty amusing, and more importantly he didn't ask to touch the dog.
