[quote=Anonymous]There's no sense in bringing it up now. The next time that dog might be around, ask if it will be, and decide what you can do to avoid it.  Wasn't there another room you could be in to get away from the dog, even the bathroom or outside?  My son used to be afraid of dogs. When he was a baby the IL's dog barked at him and tried to get him. It scared me even. Since then they always boarded the dog when we came to visit. They kept giving us stuffed animals and figurines that looked like this dog though. Why on earth would we want to be reminded of a dog that tried to attack my baby? Anyway, the dog recently died. Problem solved. In the meantime, he got to know another dog that was much nicer, so he is not afraid anymore. He also has gotten to like our cat.  When he gets off the school bus there are often dogs, and is he cautious to stay out of the way of the dogs. I think the problem will lessen as your child gets older.  At least they had the dog tied up. Maybe ear plugs would help if the barking scares him.[/quote]
