Painful memory
Dog bites
Since I was bitten by a dog 20 years ago (and I think I had much worse injury than this girl), I got very scared of dogs, then I gradually come to love them again. Properly behaved dogs are just very lovable. I couldn't possibly name anything I disliked about Maggie, a very sweet border collie. Of course, she has a very responsible owner - she's a fortunate dog. But sometimes, I wonder about some owners...
City of Wichita has no regulations on how many dogs you can have. Not that it's a bad thing, but I do wonder if people are wise enough to know their limit. Take this news item for example - that house had 6 grown-up dogs. That's a quite a few to handle for anyone. I know some people gets very attached to their pets. That's a good thing. But along with that must come responsibilities. It may be hard to let go of your puppies. But wouldn't it be worse if your dogs gets sent to the pound, as these dogs did?
I hope that this girl will overcome the fear against dogs. It might take time. But animals can bring lots of good to us.
