Dogs-lovely pet and do you like to touch them?

i am also afraid of dogs but they are so soft and loving so i love touching them, though i have not touched many dogs in my life. they look like soft toys which are so soft to handle and care. whaen a dog is close to me i will take aside and move from there far away from the dog, becoz my fear would want me to do that. i am really scared of dogs.

I am happy to talk with and touch the dog. I think dogs have better instincts sharper than humans. Animals will defend themselves if they feel the security or tranquility disturbed. Our dogs have guarded our first child while we work.

I think dogs are great. The reason why people are afraid to touch them is because a human already shows fear and the dog can sense it and it gets them going. I have a dog and I am happy to talk to her and play with her. She is cute and cuddly. There are sometimes that I see dogs acting very much out of control and those are the types that I would not touch or go near because there would be a very good chance of something going wrong or getting bit by the dog.

To be honest, I've had so many problems with various people (including family) that I trust dogs way more than people. I am more comfortable with dogs, especially big dogs. They dont make you feel like crap, and they don't judge you. They are so much smarter than humans as well. They know when you are sad, mad, etc. Not every dog is a biter, maybe play bite or something, but not all dogs are viscious. I've even run into many pit bulls, that were the sweetest dogs I've ever seen!
