I also have a fear of dogs. My sister got bitten in the face by a dog when we were little. I stood in disbelief. I'm not fearful of dogs as much as some of the owners. My daughter and I are dealing with animal control right now because of a neighbor in her apartment who won't stop beating his dogs!!! We have called the police, but they can't do much. The good news is the neighbors have been gone for the past two weeks!!! We hope they moved out!!! It's unfortunate 🥲💙 because although we don't have to hear the abuse any longer, I'm sure it hasn't stopped. Sorry for the rant, but it deeply touches me!!! And the dogs seemed nice but the constant abuse will change their demeanor!!!
