I try to be understanding about that, because I know a couple of people who dislike dogs and found out later that they were attacked/bitten by a dog when they were younger.
Plenty of people have phobias when it comes to specific animals and insects. One of my sisters has lepidopterophobia, which is a fear of butterflies. We went to the Brookfield Zoo with her years ago, and the first display you reached after the gate was massive walkthrough outdoor butterfly enclosure. She freaked out and ran into the bat house to get away from the butterflies. The mind is an enigma sometimes.

@BamPow 🤣 Running into a bat house to avoid butterflies is so very comical.🤣
I understand a certain amount of fear from having been harmed, that's a bit different.

@UnderLockDown The bat house had huge fruit bats that fly over your head while you’re in there. It’s a really cool exhibit, but I did give her some 💩 about fleeing to bats to avoid butterflies. As a big brother, part of my job description includes 💩 talk.
