Joel wasn't about to offer a hand to shake, regardless. It wasn't really his way - shaking hands was kind of verboten - touching people you've just met in general was not a smart thing to do where he came from, for multiple and varied reasons.
"I'm not sure if I like bein' talked about like I'm a dog," he pointed out, but there was very little hostility there. Joel couldn't care less what other people thought of him, for one thing, and the fact that he had Ellie with him again sort of mitigated a lot of potential negative feelings, anyway.
At least he was a big dog. Not a little yappy one.
