Weekend Engagement 157: Afraid.

Hello friends, greetings to all, I hope you had a great weekend, today I come to leave you my contribution to this weekend's Weekend-Engagement, the theme I chose to develop was Afraid, this point It caught my attention since I probably have a tremendous phobia that today I would like to share with all of you, I hope you like my participation, without further ado I will begin to develop the topic.

Since I was very young I have been terribly afraid of dogs, I know that it is strange to be afraid of such a kind and adorable pet, but they terrify me horribly, I don't like seeing other people's dogs near me, it is obvious that this fear there is a reason, this problem with dogs began when I was 5 years old, since at that age a dog attacked me causing serious injuries to my stomach and rib area, I still have the scars from that event, I know it would be unfair to blame to all the dogs for that act and it is not so, if the dog is mine I am not afraid of it, in my life I have only had 3 dogs and I was never afraid of them, only affection and respect.

It all started one day when I went with my mother to visit some uncles, they were grinding corn in the patio of their house and they had a Rottweiler dog tied to a tree, the dog went crazy when it saw us and began to bark a lot while pulling I didn't go out into the yard because I was afraid of the dog, but my mother did go out to help grind the corn, so I stayed alone in the house watching everything they were doing from the door. .

The dog was very annoyed by our presence and after pulling and pulling he managed to break the rope and went directly towards me, he knocked me to the ground and I hit my head against the floor, he immediately began to bite me all over the area of ​​the abdomen, my uncle ran as fast as he could towards me to try to get the dog off me, but he had already bitten me many times, and it was very difficult for him to separate him from me since a Rottweiler is a large and strong breed.

After that they immediately took me to a hospital, they cleaned me and injected me with anti-tetanus serum, the wounds were a little deep but they didn't heal me, they just put bandages on me, after that I spent a couple of weeks going to school with him. bandaged abdomen which impeded my movement a bit, the whole experience was so vivid that to this day I still remember it very clearly, let's be honest. Who remembers in such detail an event that happened when I was only 5 years old? .

For the next few years I was too afraid of dogs, I remember stopping visiting cousins ​​because they had dogs in their houses, I really liked riding my bike and practically memorized the streets where there were dogs to avoid them completely, I remember sometimes taking very long roads to reach my destination, things changed a bit in my pre-adolescence, they gave me a small breed mixed-breed dog and I became so fond of it that little by little I lost my fear of it, today almost all my fear It has become respect and although I'm still a little afraid of them, I can control the panic they cause me, something that I couldn't do before.

And well friends, I hope you liked my participation in this weekend's theme, as always I really enjoyed writing this personal experience, I don't usually tell it much because I consider that it is a part of my life that remained in the past, currently I have a beautiful dog that I love very much since it gives me a lot of affection and company, but as I mentioned before, if the dog belongs to another person, if I am a little afraid of it, I don't even like to get close to someone else's dog regardless of its breed or size, now yes, without anything else to add I say goodbye, thanks for stopping by, see you next weekend, see you next time.
