Probably even the most rational thing I could do.

I have an irrational fear of almost all dogs. Well, maybe it's more of anxiety/nervousness for small dogs. It seems like every third person in my neighborhood owns a large dog...
Lazy dogs don't really bother me, though. And no, I can't think of any bad experience I had with a dog when I was little.
