I must admit, I haven't always liked animals. In fact, I distrusted them greatly while growing up, and I still fear the ones I don't know personally now. What set my beliefs in stone was being attacked-not once but many times, including the summer after second grade when I was bitten by a rabbit. Then, when I was nine and riding my dirt bike down the road, a large dog charged me and tried to bite my ankle. After all those negative experiences, there was one thing I knew for sure: all creatures, great and small, were no friends of mine.
After college in California, I returned to live the single life in Las Vega. Then I met Lisa. In no time at all, we fell in love, married and moved into a new house. Despite my avoidance of animals, Lisa had a dog called Bailey. Bailey didn't like me, but he tolerated my existence once he realized I wasn't going anywhere.
Things changed as spring came. We welcomed a new member of our family: our son Evan. I'd heard stories of animals' attacking babies before, so I always kept an eye on them. One evening I noticed Evan grabbed hold of the dog's tail. The irritated（被激怒的） dog paused and turned to look at his stuck tail, but then he waited patiently until being released. I relaxed a little. Still the stories I'd heard worries me.
Then my worst fear occurred when I sat on the sofa reading and my wife worked at the dining-room table paying the bills. I saw Evan crawl （爬行） across the family-room carpet as he made his way behind the sofa, then Bailey quietly entered the room and headed to where Evan stayed. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard the dog start a fearful barking behind me.
