I would consider my fear of this dog and runing away from it very rational.
Probably even the most rational thing I could do.

I'm actually cracking up laughing at what website that photo came from.

You may have a point here, but perhaps we could group fears like this one together. Because fear of the dark, spiders, water, all still seem irrational for the reasons I posted before.
