Would your kid's friend's fear of dogs stop you from getting a dog?

One of the things in the con list is that DD's BFF is terrified of dogs (she's 5, so could outgrow it), and at least one or two of my friends aren't big dog fans. We love to have people over and I hate to think that friends would no longer come to our house. At the same time, if our family wants a dog should we be held back by the feelings of other families?

Hell, no. Get the dog! If people don't like they can either not come over or you can put the dog in another room.
