Puppies learn from older dogs just like human kids learn from older kids and adults. They watch and they learn. Or they listen and they learn. Etc. That's why it is so important to behave around children, because you never know what they're going to pick up.

The girl goes wide eyed and decided to give this petting thing a whirl on her own. When she does it successfully, aka very gently, you see the happiness well up in her face.
