Oh yes, respect definitely! But fear of dogs is just something I can't personally wrap my head around (except for cases where someone was attacked or witnessed an attack, for example). I'm well aware that dogs can be dangerous and are capable of killing. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't know or don't use doggy manners/etiquette and that's where a lot of these incidents come from. Not all, but a lot of them. It's important to be attuned to doggy body language, whether you know a dog or not. Most of the time they are giving clear signals about their mood, but if you haven't studied doggy body language, these signals can be easy to miss.I'll send you five more.
Personally I feel most people should actually have a "respect" for ALL dogs, regardless of breed. Often breeds have a reputation for a reason, just because the reputation doesn't accurately show the well bred, well trained, well behaved ones doesn't mean the ones that created that reputation didn't and still don't exist.
I love the Bull Arab breed which can have a pretty bad reputation. There's people within my family even who think "pig dogs" are terrible. I even believe there was an incident between a neighbour near by and their pig dogs... I work with a LOT of pig dogs and unfortunately I've met many dogs who uphold that reputation. The absolute sweetheart Bull Arabs/Mixes I've had the pleasure of working with, cause me to love them but hold a strong respect for them. I'd rather treat every one I meet as a potentially dangerous dog and be pleasantly surprised that they're not then the other way around![]()
Oh, that sweet face! Those shining eyes! I need a dog!
Sometimes fears can’t be helped. I’m terrified of heights. Never fallen or anything. Just am.Oh yes, respect definitely!
