How I Fell In Love With Dogs Because Of Hannah

I have from infancy been the type who fears dogs so serious that my phobia level for it can simply be known from my reaction and breathing pattern as soon as I see one.

I remember planning to join the population census by applying but later shunned because I know my fear for 🐕 won't allow me to enter into random houses most especially in a residential area.

Somewhere 2021 when done with my national service, I had to rent a new place in SUNYANI and my luck landed me an opportunity to freely stay in at a BORGA's house.

I met the woman and she confided in me that she may be travelling back in no time so I will have the house kept while I stay in. While conversing, a dog suddenly appeared from the corner of her store room and in fact I nearly poopoo. 😅. The height of the dog and its face could let me know it's a BULL DOG though I'm not conversant with its breeds.

I suddenly shouted "Awurade Mawu, Mama Sack the dog" she burst into laughter and said "Jeff it won't do anything just relax" but I still insisted she sacks it and she adhered. She advised the dog will get to know me if I move in. Within me I asked "Will she do introduce me to the dog or what?".

I simply declined the offer to freely stay in the 4 rooms apartment and later rented an accommodation at a different place though I could save the amount paid but I chose not to stay with a dog which its presence could have given me BP in an hour of stay with it.

I may sometimes have to change my direction if I see from the front a dog is on my path ahead. I mostly have to enquire from neighbours of the house I'm entering if there is no dog(s) before entering in that particular house.

Friends will sometimes laugh out at me when I get intensively scared around a dog when with them.

Ahaa that reminds me of this, I had a place I mostly go, a café at Ahafo. On the route there to the café, there is a woman who sits by a commercial tap water who always had dogs by her and that could cause me to go through a longer distance that passing behind her place which is a shorter route.

I one-day told her when I met her in town and as at now we meet and laugh over my comments of route changing.

This is how I fell in love with dogs, I used to visit a friend at his residence closer to my bungalow.

This is how my love for dogs started, he had a puppy whom I honestly never feared because it was only a puppy.

For aImost a year I had not gone to Jonny to visit him and the dog had grown unknowingly.

One early morning, I was passing by Jonny's house and few distance from his house I saw an adult dog wailing it's tail towards me and trying to cuddle me. I nearly died and suddenly I started shouting 😄 for help.

I heard one woman shouted "W'adamfo Jonny kraman no o" to wit its your friend Jonny's dog.

I became calm and gathered courage to rub its head.

The dog is called HANNAH and since the HANNA will play with me and escort me anytime we meet.

That day I said how can a puppy I knew now still remember me. At the time I knew it, it was a puppy now a dog but could still remember me after almost a year.

I now damn love dogs because of HANNAH.
They do remember.
Let me hear you from the comment section.
