Dogs..

I am scared of dogs. I am not really scared of small dogs, but I am really frightened of big dogs. Sometime when I was younger probably third or fourth grade I was bit on the nose by my friend's dog. Ever since then I have been kind of terrified of dogs especially other people's dogs. I just never know how to react to them or what to do. I don't want to get bit again. By having that bad experience at such a young age it made me very skittish towards all dogs. Dogs freak me out because one they can be really large and kind of intimidating. When I see dogs I always back away because I fear that they will jump on me and I get scared like before when I got bit. I know that my nephew used to be very scared of dogs, but he is getting used to it. Even when I go home and see my own dog sometimes I get freaked out and that is when I get bit and or scratched. Overall, I am scared of dogs and getting bit by them on my face in particular.
