I present to you the finest reason why !dogfree thinks so many people are cracked.

People can get weird about dogs. I'm uncomfortable around them because I'm autistic and having them jump all over me and bark is a sensory overload nightmare, and my brother got mauled by a neighbor's dog so badly he had to go to the hospital, but some people take my unease as proof that I'm Satan incarnate.

EDIT: Also I dunno why it happens, but I swear dogs hate me lmao. I've lost count of how many times I've heard "I don't know what's gotten into him, he's not usually like this" while a dog is barking at me like I'm a Terminator.

Dogs read microexpressions and like you said a lot of psychos become uneasy when someone isn't into dogs so their dog realizes the owner is uneasy and thinks they perceive you as a threat.

Dogs behaviors are just an extension of their owner's biases
