There is this lady who lives on the 7th floor of my building.

Everytime she see's our dog ella she freaks out, hides in the corner of the elevator or leaves it all together.

If we are walking to get out side and she sees us coming she goes the other way.

Ella is a sweet heart who would never bit attack bark or jump on anyone.

We see Ella like this:

And she see's her like this:

She really makes me angry  every time is see her. Ella has done nothing to her, her kids or her husband. Her freak outs scares my dog,And make Ella feel  uneasy because she doesn't know what she did wrong to get such a reaction. 

Cynophobia doesn't just effect the person conflicted with it but it stresses out every dog and dog owner from here to kingdom come.

That being said if a person is that scared of dogs they shouldn't be living in a building that allows people to keep dogs as pets.
