Are you afraid of dogs?

Oh boy am I afraid...I have had some very unusual incident involving dpgs...I just don't like them and they don't like me... My daughter has a pit bull and mastiff mix and he is good because we know each other,,,lol, but other than that, dogs are not my friends... I often have to ask owners, who swears their dog dosen't bite, "how did he eat his breakfast"...yep thats what I am talking about....LOL

When I was young there was this dog up at the top of our street who when I think of it now, must have been a pit bull or the dog that looked like that one with the back eye on the Little Rascals. It did grab me and held onto my arm and I was afraid of that dog, but the other dogs that I have seen or met hod no fear for me. Except for that one, have not had a terror of dogs. There was a man who lived about a mile away who had this German Shepherd who was very nervous and when I went in his yard to deliver papers about ten or so years ago, was rather upset. But I could not understand why he would be nervous. Sure the dog barked, but there is a neighbourhood dog that does a lot of barking.

Dog considered as man's best friend. Dog mostly won't harm to it's owner. They only a dangerous if we won't take them. They are the best animals I know. I have many dogs before and until now. They are unquestionable trusted friend ever. Did you watched LASSIE?

Im never afraid of dogs. Now snakes thats a different story. Have a great sunday there.

Oh wow.. That was so scary!! Good thing their attention was diverted away from you or else worst thing have could happened.. Good to know you went home safe. I am not really into pets of any kind. We have dogs, cats and other kind of pets but I really not into them unlike my mom, my dad and my sis who reaally love dogs. They even sleep with our dog. They love to bath it and play with it. But I never did. I wasn't scared of dogs though untill one moment when we had one school activity which requires us to have a study about pregnant woman. We accompanied our subject till their house. Just as i got out from the tricycle we rode her dog ran so fast and in blink of an eye, he bit my leg. Good thing it was just so little cause the owner was able to guard me somehow. But that started me for having phobia towards dogs. When I saw a dog even if it's too far from me , my whole body would be shaking. my fingers are trembling and all i can do is cry.. Good thing I was able to overcome that fear and now I was able to learn to love dogs. Right now we have 3 big dogs at house and I use to play with them now..:)

Yes,dogs can be a very good friend and a great man threat!Personally,i feel no fear of dogs exept rottweiler ,because one rottweiler bit my dalmatian and it was life-threatening.And from that day to now i am very afraid of rottweiers and i look to avoid them from a long distance!

Hello jdalaqui. You were lucky not to be chased later because of the dogs' fight against one another that you could go home safe and sound. I am afraid of dogs, especially large dogs which can be very scary. I try not to get close to them if I see a big one. Take care.

that must have been frightening to u! I remember that happening to me and my brother once when we missed the bus to go home from school. We used to live way out in the country...20 miles or so.just as we passed this gated house, we heard animals growling and it was 2 big black douberman dogs and they were fast. but we were faster! i dont think i have ever ran that fast in my life! when we got home my sides were hurting and my brother was laughing at me. But that was years ago when i was just a young girl. Now that im older(31)im not that scared of them. i kind of make it a habbit of mine to cary doggie treats so just in case i come face to face with a four legged animal! so glad u made it home safe and that u didnt get bit. some ppl arent that fortunate.

Before, I'm really afraid of dogs. Because I thought that all dogs were aggressive. But now, when I've already experienced having dogs at home, I'm not afraid of dogs anymore! :)

I'm not afraid of dogs, since I own one. However; I'm cautious when around other dogs, even if they're big mean dogs. I never show a dog that I'm afraid of them,though. Dogs can sense fear in a person. Just because a dog is wagging their tail doesn't mean they like you, it just means they're happy to protect their owner. We have Boxer/Rotwieler mix dog, to most people she's friendly to, but dogs are a good judge of character, if she doesn't like you , she'll let us know. We can tell if she doesn't like some one because the hair on her back will be standing up, but she can still be wagging her tail. Just because a dog is wagging their tail,doesn't mean their friendly. Glad you made it home safe to tell us this!

Thank god you went home safe. Dogs like this are very dangerous. I am scared yes when i don't know the dog. I have been bitten once and i know the pain. Thanks so sharing and have a wonderful day ahead

I don't feel threaten to like dogs, actually I have two dogs at home. I am a dod lover.

I afraid some dogs follow me at night.Also i love a pet dog,it is very lovely.I always play with this pets.it makes me happy

Never afraid of any damn dog

I am not afraid of dogs , only if they chasing me . Yes when a dog snaps at me my first instinct is to defend myself just in case he want to bite me . Dogs can be very dangerous I dont just walk with my heads in the cloud when it comes on to strange dogs because I will not just stand and let it bite me . You are lucky to escape , I was chase by a dog when I was a child good thing my dog was also following me . From that day I dont run when a dog growl at me , I take up something to defend myself with my family though me that . You can not out run a dog , I am very slow so I wont even try

I love dogs....but our own dog only....I fear dogs who are roaming around the streets because I have been chased by them one time...so lucky that I was not bitten.

I will say that I have dogs and mine will only bark when there are people about late at night or near our garden, but dogs do tend to protect their grounds, as well as their owners. My garden is secure, so my dogs would not get out onto the street, here if there were dogs on the street, you would have your dog collected and taken to a secure dog warden unit and you would be made to pay a fine and use of kennels that they were put in. I am not scared of dogs and I will say that I have been bitten by one when I was younger for no reason.

My thigh was nipped by our neighbors dog when I was six years old. Scared that my mom would tell me off, I kept it to myself. But my tattletale playmate told my mom about it.Thus,my mom panicked consequently I cried my heart out and fainted. The next thing I knew I was already in a clinic. The doctor said, it was nothing serious just a scratch from the dogs sharp nails.

I hate dogs. In fact I hate all animals. I do not like pets at all.

i am only affraid of dogs who i dont know but i do like most dogs my friend has three dogs and i aint scared of them
