Surprised to see another person who is afraid of dogs. I've been afraid of them all my life and people think I'm crazy. I was a child when rabies was rampant and fatal. I was taught to be afraid of dogs.
“I’ve been afraid of them all my life and people think I’m crazy.”
Yes, me too. Hubby’s family are all dog people.
I’ve gotten a bit better about them, I’ve actually known some lovely dogs. They’ve got to be trained though, it’s 100% a must. And I’m even kind of “friends” now with my in-law’s rambunctious dog, but he’s gotten a lot better. My sis-in-law went through pure heck to get him in line. He’s a super smart dog and he’d probably be better off as a real working dog, doing police work or something like that. I just think he’s unfulfilled as a pet.
But I wouldn’t stay alone with him, not at all. That dog could rip my head off easy if he had a mind.
I’m truly a cat person, but I will say that although I don’t dislike dogs I remain wary of them all.
