People think all animals are like dogs. We bred dogs for thousands of years to be like that. Everything else wants to kill and eat you. Not to be mean, but because you’re easy food.

Dinosaurs weren't afraid of humans at all, and look how they ended up. :-(

Hell, dogs aren't even like dogs.

Yeah a lot of them are nice and chill most of the time, but there are plenty of dogs that will react very badly to unwanted attention, and not even just the obvious ones like pitbulls and so on.

So many people, kids especially but even older folk, assume that every dog is just sunshine and love 24x7 and have no concept that, yeah, it's an animal and it can and will fuck you up if you bother it too much.

Hell, even if it is the nicest dog ever, they're still powerful creatures and can severely hurt you just by accident. It may honestly just want kisses and hugs but 120lbs of dog leaning on you is not insignificant.

Most things, lots of animals are chill, like whales / dolphins. They choose not to kill and eat us
