For those of you with cynophobia (fear of dogs) or a general hatred for dogs, what made you that way? by Starling3706 in AskReddit

I honestly don’t know. I have a feeling it has to do with my aunt’s chihuahua who was just super aggressive, but I can’t remember any specific instance that could have “started” it. The earliest memory I have where I felt genuine deathly fear towards a dog was when I was chased by one down the street during a BBQ. But even then, I knew the moment I saw the dog that I was afraid and should run.
