Oh yes, I've had that A LOT over the past few months since we decided to get small dogs as opposed to gundogs (we live in a part of the UK where it's all shooting & hunting)
Almost everyone up here has Labradors or springer spaniels which ARE lovely breeds in their own way but not the small companions that I want
I can understand folks who may have been bitten being wary but cannot understand ANYONE who actually hates dogs...or any animals come to that
I once worked with a lad who was scared of dogs but after 7 years under my influence he was begrudgingly stroking a neighbour's Labrador
He'd never been bitten or anything, just grew up in a house where his parents never allowed pets so he never got the chance to realise how much fulfilment they bring to your life
As to cats......they are NOT all cold, indifferent, aloof creatures.....I've known some HUGE characters over the years and I always think that if you show them affection & love they return it a thousandfold....just like a dog
Here's my current boy George.....soft as clarts and quite a chatty wee man at times
I keep showing him Yorkie puppy videos on YouTube to prepare him for the puppy's arrival later this year
