Although animals are for many the epitome of tenderness and kindness, there are also those who do not enjoy their company. A certain girl had never liked dogs and there was no indication that anything was going to change in this matter. A visit to a friend who has a dachshund in her care took an unexpected turn. The recording shared on the TikTok platform became a success, generating almost 9 million views.
She came to visit a friend. The problem was the dog
Cynophobia is an anxiety disorder that manifests itself in contact with dogs and in the way a person struggling with anxiety perceives them. Irrational fear can be worse than fear that arises in the face of a real threat. Sometimes, just seeing an animal walking on a leash makes a person with cynophobia cross the street, looking for a way to escape a potential threat.
Explaining that Reksio, Azor, Luna, and Daisy do not bite is useless. The subconscious feeling of fear turns out to be stronger. In turn, increased anxiety makes it difficult to establish and maintain friendly relationships with people who have pets. This also happened to a girl who decided to visit her friend. The problem was the presence of a dachshund with whom she lived under the same roof.
The girl’s reaction exceeded her wildest expectations
The girl who visited her friend may not have been afraid of dogs, but she simply did not like the company of this species of animals. The owner of the dachshund respected her friend’s different opinion, but she secretly hoped that a thread of understanding would be established between them. Their interaction was captured in a recording that became a hit on TikTok.
At first, the young woman seems uncomfortable with the animal’s small size. But soon, the dog discovers a way that only dogs can steal the heart of even the toughest man. The dachshund simply sits next to the girl and looks innocently into her eyes. When she looks back, the dog finally starts wagging its tail, letting her know that she can relax. After a few seconds, the animal exposes its belly and is ready to be petted.
The dachshund’s cunning plan worked. The girl succumbed to his innate charm and agreed to pet him. This could make an exception for this adorable creature. Mission accomplished!

Cynophobia or fear of dogs
Even though animal lovers constantly praise man’s four-legged friends, many people in society feel chills at the sight of a strange dog – and not out of excitement. There are several hundred animal-related phobias and they vary in the intensity of the symptoms. In fact, fear of dogs is one of the most common.
Morbid and unjustified fear of dogs affects many people, regardless of age or gender, and the origins of the problem often go back to early childhood. A phobia can manifest itself as a result of traumatic experiences, for example, a bite by an unknown dog, which affects the entire adult life of the person, which is why it is so important to undergo treatment under the supervision of a psychologist or psychiatrist. It should be remembered that the treatment process requires determination on the part of the patient and can be a difficult experience. The support of family, partners or friends can therefore be invaluable.
