Aubrey was scared of the new dog, but Kendall placed Aubrey's hands on the dog.
It's ok, he won't bite you. You can pet him. I'm scared. What if he does bite me? He won't. He is a very friendly dog. See? I'm slowly putting your hands on him. Aw, you're right. He is a very nice dog.  I told you! Ok, I think I'll be leaving now.
