It Won’t Bite…

I have had several encounters with different animals, sometimes I look back at some of those encounters and I can’t help but laugh at myself. Most times I ask myself why I am scared of even the tiniest of animals. I have no answer for myself because I will still see those animals and I will run away.

Can we all agree that when it comes to dogs, the puppies are the adorable ones? Even if they are not puppies, those dogs that happen to be so small and fluffy are the most adorable ones. I have been opportune to be a dog owner twice. At first, I got a small puppy as my birthday gift but then as she grew bigger, I just couldn’t find the bond anymore so I gave her off to my friend.

Then I decided to go for a kind of dog that rarely grows big and even though they grow, they do not grow so big as compared to a bulldog or a German shepherd. I have also had a cat that died and I think when it comes to animals, apart from dogs that have small stature, cats happen to be my favorite animals, as they are so small and rarely grow too big.

No matter how much I love dogs they have scared me on different occasions. They say dogs are domesticated but then most of them deserve to be called wild animals cause of how aggressive they are to innocent people like me.

How I got into one situation where I was attacked by a very big German Caucasian dog and it terrified the hell out of me. It happened that my cousin’s family are lovers of very big dogs. Every compound they move to they make sure that they always have dogs in it and not tiny fluffy dogs but very big dogs. Those kinds that the police usually use.

I try my best to stay away from their compound because these dogs are never put in cages or even chained. They are allowed to move around the compound, so immediately you get into the compound there is a dog there either wagging its tail at you or attacking you.
Well, a day came when I had to run errands for my dad by taking a parcel to my Aunt.

I called my cousin and told him to please cage the dog or put his chain around him so I could come into the compound. My cousin said he would come outside so he could bring me inside the compound since I am scared of the dog and he couldn’t chain it because they can’t find their chain. My cousin told me that this dog doesn’t bite and he loves playing with people a lot.

Immediately I entered the gate, this dog was running in my direction with speed and he was barking. I ran out and shut the gate. The dog was still standing close to the gate barking and hitting the gate. I could feel my heart jump out of my body because I was super terrified. My aunt had to come downstairs to take the parcel my dad gave me because nobody was able to convince me to go into the compound.

Till now, I have not visited my cousins because of that mighty dog before it bites me.
The Lesson I learned from this experience is that If they ever tell you “my dog doesn’t bite” run for your life because that dog will bite you.

I wonder if the dog told the owners that it doesn’t bite.
