We had 3 dogs in our house. What suprising me is, not all people love dogs, many of them are afraid of dogs. at least in my neighborhood. When my dogs bark, they moved back and try to shoo the dogs. I love dogs although I am not too keen to had 3 dogs. My Dad was a dog lovers. He diced to had 3. Its a bit of a tsak to get them out etc etc but its worth it when they play with you with their tails wagging around and their tongue bathing you all over. So what category are you in? Love or afraid?

I had 3 dogs too. I like the dogs small, hair flexible. I like the seed dog of China. I look at it don't feel tired. My parents like dogs too. So my grandmother.

The funny thing is my dad and my aunt love dogs, but my uncle (dad brother) and my grandma never like dog. Strange, right?

Nice question, that is one of my fear DOG! I am afraid of dog because my back was scratched by a dog when I was 5 years old... I had a phobia. I was just walking that time and suddenly the old big dog sais HI by scratching my back! it happened again when I was 6, I was eating while heading home and the dog stole my food from my hand!

Maybe the dog just wanted to play with you. But its hard when you had bad experience with dog when you was a child. Maybe you will love dog if you just had one. My mom did. She never like dog. But after Dad had 6 dogs (now 2) she was the one who feed them and mostly tske care of them daily. Taling about motherly love.

Dear friend, I am not much afraid of normal dogs or may be dogs which are considered to be pets which are obidient. I do afraid of dogs like mad dogs and some street dogs. Other dogs I am afraid if they tend to be more focusing on me which may arise a feeling as if something is going to be done by that dog which is harmfull for my health. I too have pet dogs which I am not all afraid of.

I am not afraid of dogs but I also won't just walk up and start to pet a dog. You can't tell if a dog will bite or not. I don't think people ought to say that go ahead and pet my dog he won't bite. Even if they have never bit anyone you still don't know for certain if the dog will or not. When I had a dog I always made the comment that he has never bitten anyone so I don't think he will but I can't guarentee that he won't. I do love dogs.

Oh, I absolutely love dogs!!! I own dogs, I work with dogs, and I volunteer with dogs! I know how you feel though! I have a German Shepherd, and everyday I come across people scared of him! I'll be walking him down the sidewalk, and people coming the other way will cross the street just to avoid walking past him! He is a very sweet and friendly dog and just loves people, but people are still scared of him just because of the way he looks!

im in the category of loving dogs. my grandmother loves dogs, my father loves dogs and so does my brother. i guess the only person that doesnt love dogs very much is my sister. she can stand our dogs because it is our own, but other dogs i think she would go mad if it would try and play with her. lol... she has had this fear when she was a shild because she was bitten by one. sad, but i think it was her fault. not really sure anymore really. but she could tolerate them. my family loves dogs so much that when my granmother was younger she had a dozen of em. stray dogs, or purebreaded ones or no breed at all.. lol... now that my grandma is no longer with us, we still have a few dogs left. some are the children of the ones we had before others are new. we narowed it all down to 6. but ive got a feeling that we would be adding a few new pups to the family since my dog is preggers...

To be honest, I both love and am afraid of dogs. I love them because they are cute and loyal. I am afraid because of the obvious reason. They might bite me! One of my relatives has a dog. Whenever I go to their house, it tries to bite me. i don't know what's wrong with it, because it does that to everyone.

My family is a real "Animal family".We had many dogs,cats,chickens,ducks,rabbits………they are so lovely that we all like them and often play with them. For dogs,i love them absolutely.They can acompany with me like a friend while i m lonely and unhappy.There are also some dogs not so friendly and bark when i close to them.In this case,i ll try to calm down and pretend not see it,then pass by.^^sometimes i m afraid of them,but in my heart i still love them!Our life is full of happy with them!
