BK,
I used to be scared to death of dogs.
Dogs anywhere would growl at me, bark at me or even bite me for nothing!
I even had one dog that would wait for me every morning just so he could chase me to school! That f*cker even figured me out when I started taking the long way to school and would position himself where he could see me coming from any direction I tried!
I hated dogs!
Then when I was around 24, I met my second husband's dog and his brother's dog...an Alaskan Malmut and a German Shephard...the look in their eyes was HUMAN. Best dogs I have ever known and I have loved dogs ever since. They don't harass me anymore either! The mean ones in this neighborhood actually have some respect for me!

Moni
