I am not sure why this affects me as I have never had a really bad thing happen to me that includes dogs but I believe that it was caused by me getting a bite on my leg in earlier life and my mother telling me she thought it was from a dog, creating a belief that dogs were dangerous which has stayed with me my whole life.
My nan actually has a dog that gets very excited all the time so going to her house is quite hard for me and because the dog gets excited, it scares me more than it did before, just thinking about this dog gets me nervous. Yesterday, I had to face my fear of this dog as it was new year and we go to my nan’s to wish my grandparents a happy new year.
Of course, Alfie, their dog was there and he was giddy as always but he was scaring me quite a bit. After a while, the dog was getting too excited and my dad had to calm him down but Alfie bit him and he kept biting others trying to calm him down and this really affected my fear of dogs and especially, my fear of him.
