why some people hate dogs/pups and throw stones at them?

We love dogs. We have two BIG dogs who are sweethearts, but whenever we take them for walks people are afraid of them. For some reason a lot of kids are afraid of dogs these days. I think maybe its because not everyone grows up with a dog. Once upon a time most people had dogs. They were working dogs but people still grew up around them. Maybe your cousin has a phobia of dogs. There's not always a rational explination of why someone is phobic of something.

The reason may be they are frightend of the dogs. sometimes dogs would have bitten them in the past. so they dont want to happen it again .

For me I think there are really a person who borns to love and hates a dog. It depends on their likes .Some hates the dog for they thought that it is dangerous because it might bites you anytime. Some hates dog because of health condition. They are allergy with the smells and fur. Im a dog lover. I like dogs even if they are ugly. Because for me dog is the a pet who can be man's bestfriend . The pet who can be so loyal with their master. And they are really expressive one.

I Don't know exact why some persons do that..might be they hate them..or of getting fear the dog will bark on him/his..but i know one thing the persons who do this bad things having lack of mercy inside him..that's why they are able to throw stones at them without caring the dog may be wound of it...But i love dog..i never do such things..

Yeah I find few people like that, they just hate it some even fear it. That is why I never let my dog go out alone. I think they do that because they don't have experience having dog and not know how loving this creature to they master. Having a dog is a big responsibility because dog only now how to love, who ever you are. Maybe we should give education how to handle a dog so every one who see dog don't go running.

Maybe some people, including your cousin, have bad experiences with dogs or pups. Or how there family members at their home, react to dogs, they unconsciously copied the dislike of dogs at their own homes. Meanwhile as for me, I love dogs, especially puppies. JUst make sure they have been vaccinated.

I am too a dog lover and the truth is i have dogs in my house and they are 4 now. All of them are local dogs.I love them all but the sad thing is most of the children outside are stoned them. They don't like dogs running around the street. But i still love them. Have a nice day!

Its just idiot people without feelings, i would like to see them being run over by a bunch of people throwing stones at them for a change. If you want an animal to treat you kindly you have to return the favor. It will be the best friend you will have for life.

Maybe they find the dogs bad. Dogs seems to bark to someone they don't know.They are going to sniff that someone. Maybe your cousin is hating the dogs because they are aggressive. You should take that hate feelings of your cousin to the dogs. Give your cousin a puppy, the shih-tzu so it would be charming.
