By the way, reading a dog’s intent isn’t rocket science. People hide their intentions. Dogs broadcast theirs clearly. If you are capable of accurately reading human emotions and intent, you are capable of accurately reading dog emotions and intent. You are CHOOSING not to read them properly because of your FEAR.
Your “dog-emotion reader” is clearly broken. Maybe your parents never trained you to read dogs correctly. Maybe criminal activities in your youth distorted your understanding of dogs.
Regardless of the reason, do some reading on understanding dogs, and spend some time with normal dogs. Perhaps get professional help for your cynophobia.
