Dogs Vs. Humans

I seriously do not understand the issue with hating dogs. Today, when we went for a walk on the Corniche (the sidewalk next to the sea, in Beirut) crowds were running away from us and our dogs. Well, at least they were on leashes and they didn't even go near them. I just do not understand some people. Dogs are actually man's best friend. The funny thing is that a teenager was walking next to us, acting tough and like a gangster, but the moment he saw the dogs with us, he freaked and ran away. I am just happy that there is more than one people who care for dogs, like me.
