I know I'll have to get over it eventually, but for now it feels like a dream. I wish I could go back to when I craved dogs. I still do it. I just don't trust myself to not be afraid. I've let what happened to me as a child define me and change my thoughts on dogs and animals in general, I would really like to get over this. I want to be able to go to a friend's house and not ask “do you have a dog?” I also know that one day I will have my own family and children and they could be a pet like every little child does. I know I'm willing to try to overcome my fears and that's what matters
