[Does it Matter?]

When a slave ran away, many times large dogs or hounds were used to track us down and bring us back to the master. Even during the Civil rights movement, Bill Conner used attack dogs to break up protests and intimidate the Civil Rights leaders. That may be why we have developed a fear of dogs.
