PSA to dog owners:

If someone is visibly scared of your dog, or says they are scared, or asks to be kept away from your dog, don’t explain to them that your dog is friendly, or sweet, or whatever. Just move on!

This doesn’t happen to me too often but it just happened again and I’m so tired of it.

I know you love your pets, and you want other people to love your pets, too.

But to me, and a lot of other people, it doesn't matter how small, quiet, or well-behaved a dog is: we just don't want dogs anyone near us! And we shouldn't have to explain our trauma (or phobia, or sensory problems, or whatever personal reason we have) in order to be taken seriously and left alone.
