I understanding having a fear of dogs, but that sounds like something off of the Maury show lol. My sisters bf came home for Thanksgiving and met the dogs (Bandit 4.5 pound terror and Nala 5.2 pounds of licking monster) and he refused to pet them and when my sister made him hold Bandit he almost dropped Bandit!! THEN...he started picking hairs off of his shirt and I was like "they don't shed, I'm really allergic and that's why I got this breed" and he was like "oh." Some people
I brought Bandit to school one day and my principal was scared of him lol. I think it'd be such a boost for any environment having a dog in a shop (especially a shedless one as an allergy sufferer
)
