No. Because he brought his 2 dogs to someone else's house.

There are many children’s books for any topic. Maybe try to get one or two and read them to your child, along with a friendly fluffy stuffed puppy stuffed animal. Just take your time and back off if they seem overwhelmed. Good luck! I hope your child overcomes this.

Different perspective here. I was afraid AF of dogs when I was a kid. But I was really afraid of misbehaved, untrained, dogs which were always small, and tortured the shite out of me. Big dogs (labs, etc.) tend to approach kids in an entirely different way, because they require some level of discipline, otherwise they knock over a TV on the way off the couch.

People assume their little, petty, shitty dogs are people, and let them do what they want, which can terrify kids. Little dogs almost never have boundaries set. Bigger dogs have been told to get down, get off the couch, etc., and tend to act better.

Bring the toddler around a retrievers or a lab for a few weeks. Completely different animal (no pun intended) than a Chihuahua, a terrier, etc. Fark runt dogs and most of their owners. Entitled little shits. You literally *can't* do that with a Shepherd, otherwise you'd be evicted.

My niece was like that about any animal at that age, especially dogs. Uncontrollable wailing on sight. She grew out of it after enough exposure with no near death experiences

Some of the lost annoying people alive.

You folks who trey your pets like humans are fricking weird.

I dated this chick once and I ended it mainly bc of her stupid dog and how everything we did revolved around it.
Like it was a baby or a little kid.


Don’t be one of these people.
If you are you suck. People talk about you when you leave.
Know that.

I thought I was the only person this happened to. except it was a lake.

Credit to him though. In my teens, my level of ability to swim was somewhere between a Navy Seal and a Bottlenose Dolphin.
