I’ve a strong dislikes for dogs, well actually more their owners. But if a dog is well trained, I don’t see a problem with it.
Thing that annoys me with dogs is the owners that think it’s alright to allow their dogs to run up to every and anyone. It’s not, when dogs approach me like this I have a great fear of them. I don’t know how to handle them, so have it off the leash, aye, but if you do this also have it trained so that it doesn’t harass unsuspecting people, who you have no idea of their level of comfort with dogs.
Some dogs I’m ok with, but others put the fear of death into me.
Please don’t just wave it off as nothing and say, “auch it’ll just lick you to death”, maybe, but how the hell I’m I ment to know that, especially with some of the more aggressive looking dogs around.
