Tripti Dimri Instagram – This little one quietly came and sat next to me…. And I didn’t get scared at all.. You might think what’s the big deal in that.. But trust me..people who know me from long know that I was cynophobic for a really long time.. can’t even tell you what all I have done to avoid any kind of encounter with dogs…I would stay away from those ‘dog areas…would simply avoid visiting friends or family who had a pet dog….if I was going somewhere and a dog came in my way.. I would change the route…. Then two years back my flatmate got a dog home.. We call her ziggy….the first dog I ever touched..and played with and she changed the game for me..I used to be shitt scared of her too even though she was hardly a month old when I first met her.. I would just keep avoiding her…. She would come to play with me and I would just run away ….it was damn funny for my flatmates….then one fine day I shut my eyes and put my hand in her mouth..and to my surprise she didn’t bite me.. She just licked my hand.. and looked super cute doing that.. I guess thats how I got over my fear of dogs I won’t say that the fear has vanished but today I can understand their body language….touch them…play with them….and be comfortable when dogs are around.. Its taken me too long to realise that dogs are lovely creatures..they love human beings and love to be loved just as much.. So ..if you have cynophobia….. just try and pat a dog today…you’ll only get love in return…. After all there’s only love and happiness on the other side of fear❤️🐶
