PTSD from Dog Attacks: Anyone Else?

I’ve been attacked by one dog so now I have cool notches missing from my ears but after the attack I committed myself to understanding dog psychology so I could protect myself in the future and ended up learning a lot from their social structure and honesty that has changed my life. Just the fact that dogs mirror your feelings has made me more aware of my own. I totally get having a hard time around them especially after a traumatic experience but personally I owe them all the happiness I’ve gained through living more like them. Best wishes!

I've had to separate more than my fair share of dog-fights. When people's dogs growl in that same way I'm ready to fight. Or anyone who says "he's not mean" or something like that when their dog growls: I don't trust a dog till I've been around that dog for a while
