    I am a black woman who grew up with dogs and currently own two dogs (Huskie/Shepherd mix and terrier mix). Being afraid of dogs is not a fear that I have, but it is a very common phobia. I don't speak for all blacks or women, but if you have ever examined footage from the Civil Rights Movement, you will see how dogs were used against black people, which justifies fears many may have concerning dogs. Although the Civil Rights Movement was 40 years ago, many people who experienced being savagely attacked and malled by dogs may have passed those fears on to their offspring. As I stated previously, I am not afraid of dogs. I believe they add to the human experience and can teach humans a thing or two.
