Is it wrong that I warned my coworker not to pet this dog?

Anonymous

I work for a commercial cleaning company. I recently started working with a pretty severely autistic man. He looks normal, but he has a speech impediment. Anyways, when I was working by myself, I would go to clean this place earlier, like at 5:30pm, so there was usually workers still there, but ever since I started working with this guy, we start later, at like 8pm, so there is usually no one there. Well, last night one of the workers came in with his dog. This dog used to be very friendly with me, but up until a couple months ago, he'd growl at me if I came near. When this guy came in last night, the dog had to walk past me and he gave off a slight growl. A little bit after that, I told my coworker not to try in pet the dog, because it growled at me, and it my bite you. He said okay. Well, after that, anytime he came in contact with the dog, and owner, he would repeat what I said. He was like "I won't pet your dog. Its safer". He just repeats what I say sometimes. I thought maybe the owner would feel offended. Anyways, I talked to my mom, and she said that I shouldn't of told my coworkers, and now I'm probably making the owner feel bad.
