I'm afraid of animals.

The dogs with the loudest bark are the ones that are most afraid.

Personally, I don't want to own a dog that inspires fear. I choose my dogs carefully, have their temperaments observed and evaluated, train and socialize them day after day. Yet I know any dog can be unpredictable.

I always disliked dogs, those protectors of cowards who lack the courage to fight an assailant themselves.

Besides individual things like thunder and gunshots, what dogs fear most is not belonging, being alone.

Some people think that I would be afraid of them, but I'm never, ever afraid of an animal. I just get excited, and some that are dangerous, I think, 'Ooh, what's going to happen?' and things like that.

I had the fear of heights when I was young, along with many other fears and phobias, including the fear of dogs, bees, horses, and blood.

Animals of all classes, old and young, shrink with instinctive fear from any strange object approaching them.

I grew up in a house with dogs. We always had dogs. We always had a bunch of dogs, actually.
