Since there are no choices, the way I would correct this sentence would be:

You shouldn't pat a strange dog; sometimes they're not friendly.

I would replace the comma with a semi colon to make more sense.

The correct answer would be:

You shouldn't pat a strange dog; sometimes they're not friendly.

The semicolon or semi-colon is a punctuation mark used in the following three cases:

<u><em>In lists that have internal commas</em></u>, to make it easier to read. For example y favorite store is having a huge sale; you can buy pants, shirts, and shoes for half price.

<u><em>Between two independent clauses</em></u>, particularly with clauses that are complex,  have commas and don't have a coordinating conjunction. For example, You shouldn't pat a strange dog; sometimes they're not friendly.

<u><em>When a comma replaces a full stop in a quotation.</em></u> For example, "Is this your child?" he asked; "I found him outside".
