I used to be terrified of dogs when I was a kid. One winter day (I was 6 or so), I went to a hill near the building I lived in with my sleigh. I was just sliding down the hill and having fun. At one point when I was at the foot of the hill, I looked to my left and saw my mother standing by the building and opening her mouth, obviously shouting something that I couldn't hear. Then, I turned around, and I was literally face to face with a German shepherd.
I screamed and ran back home.
Looking back, I feel sorry for the dog. It probably just ran down the hill after me because it wanted to play and look what it got for it.
Cats, you say? Any of these kitties to your liking?
