Cynophobia by Gerhard Jason Geick
Cynophobia is the intense, persistent, irrational fear of dogs. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), seven to nine percent of the population are terrified of dogs. Of course, not every fear is irrational. My fears, for example, are not irrational. It is the people in my life that are irrational. My reasons for being afraid, and my actions, were justified. Still, it is hard to believe that it all began with a street cat named Kegels. Or, then again, maybe it was the hedgehog; - that God damn shit machine… Who the fuck knows?
