I'm so sorry. I got attacked by a rottie once when I was about 4 or 5 years old (if my dad and his owner didn't run to my rescue, I'm certain he would have severely injured me). I have never been able to trust a dog since then. It was a traumatizing experience that I haven't forgotten. I do *like* dogs........... I enjoy watching them from far.....I do think they're cute, but getting close to a dog terrifies me, and its all because of that experience, and others. I'm not afraid of little dogs though.
