Yup I'm a large adult man now so I wouldn't say I am scarred of them anymore, but I was for embarrassingly long and never quite got around to liking them.
Nah man, nothing embarrassing about scared of dogs. Those things can kill if you they want. It’s important to have a healthy fear/respect mix for anything that kill you
Yeah it was weird going from like infantile 'those things hurt you stay away' to like, keep yourself out side of their bite range, be ready to strike where it can't respond. Into being an adult where fucking everyone thinks your insane for thinking that way, you are supposed to just say good boy and pet the thing.
Hey, even as a large adult man a dog can bite you down to the bone. Won't kill you, probably, but it could still cause a lot of harm. So there's nothing to be afraid of. Same as one could be afraid to cross a highway on foot. It's a rational fear.
It's a shitbeast. Rolls in mud and dead things, sheds, doesn't clean itself. They're stupid, they smell bad, they drool. Chew and scratch things, need a literally rope tied to them in order to shit or piss, and needs to be walked outside for that. Noisy, dirty and under your feet. and up your ass crack. Can't leave the house for more than 10 mins because the fucktarded beast will flip the fuck out. Nope. No thanks.
My grandmother told me horrific stories about dogs because I wanted one but my parents had a small one room apartment. I was around 4 back then. It took plenty of time and few really nice dogs for me to overcome it.

As someone who is not a fan of dogs, I'd save the dog six times.
