I know exactly what you mean! My sister brought home a rat once, and ppl that came over were like, " Get that thing away from me! It's gross!" I was thinking, "No grosser than you! " And also my aunt got bit by a dog when she was real little, and now she says right to my face, "Keep your dogs away from me! I don't like them!" And PLUS she made her kids be scared of dogs too!
