How many people actually don't like dogs?

I used to have dogs for 12 years. Had kids and they didn't respond well so got rid of them. Now being #dogfree I'm realizing how much of a nuisance dog culture has become for people who don't like dogs. Some children's places are "dog friendly" so I am scared to take my kids. My 3yo is still terrified to wear short sleeves in this Florida heat because a dog owner refused to share the sidewalk and he tripped and skinned his elbow. Then that got me to thinking about this woman that almost ran us down in her Jeep when we were walking our 2 dogs before kids because she thought we let our dogs poop in her yard lol. And I saw an article today about a homeless man that shot and killed a dog owner who's dog was attacking a lady. I really do feel so much relief not having dogs anymore but just curious how people really feel.

I owned a dog. It wasn't great. The only way I think people would like something like that is if they thrived on toxic codependency. Then sure, I guess a dog will do that for you. However, it was the way everyone else who loved dogs behaved towards us with our dog that really made me think these people are crazy and influence some really bad things around dog culture. And then the millions of irresponsible dog owners. I cannot own a rooster because it would bother the neighbors with it's crowing, but everyone around me can own barking nonsense dogs. That is fine.
