How I Came to Love Dogs
I used to be deathly afraid of dogs. I'm not even kidding. I was crazy, right? Well when I was younger I was SO afraid that a dog would come and bite me that I tried to stay away from them. Just the initial barking of a dog would freak me out. One day though, my parents decided to get a dog. I was not up for the idea since I was afraid of them but I couldn't think of a good reason that would convince them to not get a dog. When we first got the new puppy, I was so afraid of him that I just tried to stay away from him. I had a great fear that he would just bite me but he never did. In fact, he seemed to be more afraid of me than I was afraid of him. He never tried to bite me, and soon I became attached to him. I came to realize that he was a harmless, happy creature who fell in love with barking. He became my friend and I knew he would never hurt me intentionally. And I came across other dogs they seemed to be nice too. I had gotten used to my dog and somehow that made me become used to other dogs. Thanks to getting a dog I have fallen in love with these amazing animals!
