1. If it's a dog, ask to take it out onto a grassy area to romp with the children.
2. If it's a dog, ask them if you can take it out onto a grassy area to romp with the children.

Is #1 correct? I think that #1 is incorrect and instead #2 is correct.
Could you tell me if my opinion is right or wrong?

Thanks.
