I have no problem with dogs with owner, I'm not afraid of them because something tells me they are never going to attack me. And when I'm not alone, I'm not afraid even of stray dogs, there's something in my head that tells me I am safe. But when I'm alone, the buckets of adrenaline just kick in and I can't control myself. Especially if there is a dog walking slowly behind me, and I don't know if he is going to stick his claws in my leg in the next second or just pass me by quietly. If I had a dog, I would not be afraid, I guess it would be like when I'm with a friend. It wouldn't matter if the dogs attacked us precisely because of my dog, I know they just like to bark. But altering my lifestyle drastically by getting a dog just because I'm afraid to live in the capital of a country is not an option. I need to overcome this. What if I lived in a post-war country full of debris and wild crazy dogs running around looking for someone to eat? I plan to visit a lot of places and I need to be free to move around like a normal human being.
