I like that people like dogs - they deserve a good home and loving owner - but they make me nervous. I was almost attacked by a dog on the street as a kid, and my dad had to take the bite instead to save me. 2 other kids in my family have been bitten by dogs as well, both times by dogs they had spent a significant amount of time with, but that suddenly got triggered by something out of the blue and attacked. I just can’t trust that they’ll always be friendly, and even one second of aggression is enough to cause some real damage.

We have a standard poodle. He’s being trained as a service dog, but he’s not there yet.

He’s getting better, but when he first arrived, he would bark like a maniac anytime someone new entered the house.

We had a painter come in to do some work in our bathroom. He got upset when he heard Leo start barking because he had a traumatic experience with a dog.

Then he saw Leo was a poodle and he was suddenly ok.

I know Leo is all talk, but he’s still a dog. Under all that fluff, he’s basically a Doberman Pinscher.
