[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get the impression that the people complaining about dogs know absolutely nothing about dogs. We have dogs at the bus stop as well as people walking by with their dogs who stop to chat. There has never been a problem or a complaint.

1) Yes, if a dog is a biter the owner should get rid of it. 99% of domestic dogs have never bitten anyone and would never try to.
2) Dogs are not attracted to dangly things on backpacks. They are not fish.
3) Dog allergies are an indoor problem. Nobody is going to have an allergy problem from a dog walking by them on the sidewalk.
4) If the kid has a dog phobia, it's likely due to the parent's negative reaction to dogs. The bus stop is a great place to get to know dogs and lose the phobia.[/quote]

I have had over a dozen dogs. My child had a phobia of dogs because when she stayed over at a relative's house and got bit by their dog. Period. I had nothing to do with her intense fear. NO, the bus stop is NOT your personal classroom in which you see it as your mission to teach kids to get over their phobia of dogs. WHY? Because kids will run into traffic in FEAR of a dog. The best place to get over their phobia of dogs is in a safe place where they don't face the danger of RUNNING out into traffic. [/quote]
