A man's bestfriend

Have you ever wanted to be-friend a dog or even just pet a dog? The only reason you haven't done this, is because you have a fear of these furry little creatures. Many people develop such fears through a bad childhood experience when a dog "attacked" you. Now that's nothing to be ashamed off or feel what will everybody else think. Tell yourself and believe it that you will conquer this fear, which in reality is just an illusion of your conscious mind. Take it one step at a time. You know like start by getting yourself acquainted with dogs by just being around them: You go to the dog, don't let the dog come to you, sitting in the same room as one, petting it lightly while someone holds it, and in due time you'll gather up the courage to tackle that fear and gain a new friend. 

Remember you only live once so address your fear, prepare your fingers to feel the soft goodness of animal fur, and just do life!
