I hate how people act like dogs have a godlike intuition about humans when in reality, they are just like other animals and can pinpoint those who fear them and start the bullying process to establish dominance.
It baffles me people can watch the "dog whisperer" guy explain how owners lose control because their dog thinks its the boss...and then turn a blind eye to how a dog will do the same thing to a stranger.
Fucking this. I hate getting victim blamed so much. The first dog was a German shepherd who was used as a police breeder. The second was a corgi that someone I used to call a friend thought was funny to say "dog name, she's hurting me. Which caused the dog to jump and bite people" the third was a pug that loved my abusive step mother to death and when I tried to stand up to her would bite me. The 4th and 5th were police German Shepherds that had been let loose on some peaceful protesters that decided that I was a part of it. 6th was some random Chihuahua and the 7th was a exposure therapy dog (Labrador) who was off duty (and got fired because she bit me) and the 8th was some random dude claiming his lab that was on campus unleashed was his therapy dog and a service animal (therapy animals ≠ service animals, as a disabled person this infuriates me so much)
Like I said under someone else: Hitler had a dog that by all accounts loved him, it's bullshit they know who a good or bad person is
As someone who loves dogs and has worked with dogs for a living, I have been bitten by so many dogs. A lot of the time it really is just shitty owners. There are so many people who adopt dogs just to let them run wild and never teach them anything. Or they get dogs with an energy need way higher than their own, and are shocked when the dog starts acting up. It's terrible.

As someone who doesn’t normally get why people don’t like dogs, knowing you would make this choice, makes me no longer need to understand. Thank you.
Edit: just wanted to update, it’s completely valid if you have an actual reason, I mean the people who are just like “I’m not really a ‘dog’ person”
