I never thought I would overcome the fear of dogs one day. Although I have not completely overcome it, I have overcome a lot!
Why am I so afraid of dogs? That is a long story ! When I was a kid, there were three small alleys leading to my house. However, the residents in each alley always had dogs. When I walked carefully want to pass them, their sudden barking always scared me!
A house in our village kept two large dogs. When I was a child, I felt that they were so huge, so strong, so ... horrible! Every time they walked past me, I was always a feeling of Godzilla passing by!
And when I was a kid, I was often chased by dogs. Once, me and my brother were chased by a dog on a bicycle, which made me accidentally hit the rock pile and fell down! My knee was hurt but fear to tell my parents, thinking that the wound will heal itself. However, it wasn't self-healing but more serious. Later, it was discovered by my parents after I limping on walk. After that I was incompatible with dogs! Every time I see dogs, I can't control to scare!
So why do I overcome it now? This is due to some kind foreign dogs (I still think our local dogs are terrible!)
Some time ago I went to Sri Lanka to as a helper. There were 7 dogs on the farm where I stayed! When I arrived first time, the dogs would still bark at me as a stranger. I thought I would not be able to live together with them because I was so afraid of dogs! But after the dogs was stopped by the farm host, they didn't bark me anymore!
In the next few days, we were able to get along peacefully with the dogs I was most afraid. It was amazing! I feed them by the way when I having breakfast, and feed them when I eating, play with them in my free time, they are so good! Then I feel that, actually some dogs are not so terrible ~
