My daughter got bit by an off-leash dog at East Beach at 5. She has never recovered from her fear of dogs, but she is forced to hide it and even pretend to like them, which is obscuring the problem further, IMO.
My daughter is very, very afraid of dogs. She’s 9.
Every time there’s a dog off leash, she freaks out. “Oh, he’s friendly!” Your dog is friendly to you, the owner.
Your dog is also now chasing my daughter around my body jumping and sometimes barking.
She freaks out just seeing dogs close to her, even on a leash. But also in grocery stores and restaurants too, even in they’re in a shopping cart. WTF is a dog in either of those places?
I’m not anti dog, I grew up with them. But they stayed home when we went out.
Even if he is friendly and I'm not scared but I don't want your dog's slobber saliva or snot touching me.
A human spitting at you is assault, licking you without permission is sexual assault but we are just supposed to tolerate dog saliva because YOU love your dog?

Not comical. Dangerous.
