I was once afraid of them but I will discuss in this post how to overcome this fear.
There are 4 steps to overcome it.
- Get/Learn how to record TV shows
- Buy/Record the Dog Whisperer TV series and Cesar 911
- Get a puppy from an animal shelter and raise it
- Read as much as you can about this topic
My journey to overcoming my fear of dogs started on a cold December day in Long Island NY.
I was out for a jog and running in the street was a white dog. I said "Where's your owner" to the dog thinking he understood English. With that the dog jumped into my arms and was shaking.
So carrying the dog I start to ring the bells of the houses to see if anyone knew who's dog it was. No one answered their door. I guess I wouldn't answer if I saw me carrying a dog. Finally a woman who appeared to be a nanny answered the door.
I explained the situation to her and asked if she could watch the dog while I ran about a mile back to my car and she agreed.
So I arrived back and put the dog in my car. But know what do I do. I felt like I was on a mission to help reunite this dog with it's owner. So I called my wife and she said to bring it to a nearby vet.
So I drove to the vet and told them the story. The didn't recognize the dog but would keep it there overnight and send it to the dog shelter if no one claimed it.
I took a picture of the dog and rushed home to put up signs.
After putting up the signs I got a call from someone who thanked me for finding their dog. I don't remember exactly how, but the dog was returned to it's owner.
It was getting near my son's birthday and I thought that my experience was a sign from God that I should get him a dog for his birthday.
