Would I be to blame if I can't save anyone (not even a child) from a dog attack?

[Anonymous]

I get paralized with fear easily when it comes to big dogs, esp if they're strong breeds. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to risk save any innocent child or weaker person from a dog attack.

That's my one fear I don't think I can ever overcome. I picture myself getting more scared and not be too much of help even if I really wanted to. Would that make me a coward and selfish person?

At least I'll be calling out for others to help, making a commotion so others get involved. However if it was just me watching a horrible scene of a child getting attacked by a dog, I would be too terrified to risk it.
Then I would be dealing with hate from people online for sure. But am I to blame for having fear of dogs to the point I won't be able to save someone weaker than me?

No. You have a phobia of dogs. Not your fault.

What scares me is imagine if I would've been a mother (I'm 36 and still fertile) and I can't even save my own child? Now that would be brutal and I would feel so guilty.

I understand fears but as a mom myself, you'd be surprised how mama bear instincts kick in and trump all other fears.

Hopefully it happens if I were to become a mother; I'm 36 and still fertile. So if a GSD (German Shepherd breed) charged at your child and dragging him/her drag, fear goes away fast?

No. The owner is to blame. That piece of shit has killed under not supervision. Like they care. Nor did the parents..

[Asker]

yeah there should be no loose dog roaming around. I sucks how irresponsible some owners are. I think breeders shouldn't be selling powerful breeds to anyone but instead they should make a new law that requires the buyer to have a training license and experience with such breeds.

No, you wouldn't.
