Apart from what I told in the post, I remember as a child when I was seven years old I was in a pool with my aunt, suddenly a dog appeared, I saw it drooling and I got so scared that I started to run, immediately the dog chased me around the pool and I think I went around it twice, until a man stopped the dog. The person told me exactly the same thing he told you. When you see dogs, don't run at them, they sense that we are afraid of them.

Growing up my girlfriend, (current wife) had a dog, her brothers had dogs and when I went to their houses I felt very tense, and I noticed that these animals always looked at me, even when I went home my brothers in law's dogs always bit my pants. I am still leery of dogs, however my daughter and my wife were so determined to have a pet that they adopted a very fierce stray cat, and my mother-in-law has two little parrots that are very loud and aggressive with their beaks. 🐶🐱🦜
