Its easy to laugh at people with real fears, I love spiders and have no worries about sleeping with the big house spider in her web above my bed, I'm not at all bothered when I see one scurrying across the floor yet many people would be terrified. I'm not afraid of horses and have little trouble handling very large and sometimes awkward ones, other people are nervous going anywhere near them. Some people are scared of all animals, my sister was nannying for two small kids once and she brought them round my house to see some kittens I had, the kids were absolutely terrified of them! Children terrified of small kittens. It was odd.
But anyway, it stands to reason a certain number of people you meet out on a walk are going to be scared of any dog and not want it sniffing at them.
Personally I don't like butterflies and moths- huge hairy spider in the bedroom? I say 'Hi!',
Peacock Butterfly? I'm out of there
