Dogs are scary. I hate dogs. One day I was about to climb up the stairs to my apartment. One of my neighbors was walking his dog, but with no leash As soon as the dog saw me, it started following me. My heart was pounding some million times a minute, but I tried to appear calm and didn't pay attention to it. It followed me on the stairs all the way up to my apartment. I opened the door, slowly went inside without opening the door much and quickly shut the door on the dog's face. One hell of a scary incident.
I don't know how dog owners think that others will share the same enthusiasm for their dogs. They will happily tell that it won't bite. Dogs either bite or lick, scary either way
