A dog scared me to death/ Un perro me asustó a morir [English / Spanish].

It was a summer afternoon, while walking through a park near my house, I had an experience I will never forget. An animal that caused me great fear and taught me an important lesson about nature and respect for living beings.

It all started when I saw in the distance a large and ferocious dog, which seemed to be out of control. Its barking was so loud that it could be heard several meters away, and its intimidating gaze sent a shiver down my spine. At that moment, I knew I was facing an animal that could pose a danger to me.

Era una tarde de verano, mientras paseaba por un parque cercano a mi casa, tuve con una experiencia que jamás olvidaré. Un animal que me causó un gran miedo y me enseñó una importante lección sobre la naturaleza y el respeto a los seres vivos.

Todo comenzó cuando vi a lo lejos a un perro grande y feroz, que parecía estar sin control. Sus ladridos eran tan fuertes que podían escucharse a varios metros de distancia, y su mirada intimidante me hizo sentir un escalofrío en la espalda. En ese momento, supe que me encontraba frente a un animal que podía representar un peligro para mí.

The dog was approaching faster and faster, and I didn't know what to do. My heart was pounding and my mind was blank. I had no experience in dealing with aggressive animals, and I felt completely vulnerable in this situation.

Finally, I decided to stay calm and try to back away slowly, without making any sudden movements that could provoke a violent reaction in the dog. It was at that moment that I remembered some recommendations on how to behave in front of aggressive animals, such as keeping my eyes down and not showing fear.

El perro se acercaba cada vez más rápidamente, y yo no sabía qué hacer. Mi corazón latía con fuerza y mi mente estaba en blanco. No tenía experiencia en lidiar con animales agresivos, y me sentía completamente vulnerable frente a esa situación.

Finalmente, decidí mantener la calma y tratar de retroceder lentamente, sin hacer movimientos bruscos que pudieran provocar una reacción violenta en el perro. Fue en ese momento cuando recordé algunas recomendaciones sobre cómo comportarse frente a animales agresivos, como mantener la vista baja y no mostrar miedo.

Luckily, the dog stopped a few meters away from me and began to sniff the ground, as if it had lost interest in my presence. I took the opportunity to cautiously move away and look for a safe place where I could recover from the shock of having been so close to an animal that had frightened me so much.

Por suerte, el perro se detuvo a pocos metros de mí y comenzó a olfatear el suelo, como si hubiera perdido interés en mi presencia. Aproveché la oportunidad para alejarme con precaución y buscar un lugar seguro donde pudiera recuperarme del shock de haber estado tan cerca de un animal que me había asustado tanto.

This experience taught me a valuable lesson about respect for animals and the importance of knowing how to act in dangerous situations. Although that dog may have been simply curious and not a real threat, its presence made me realize that animals can be unpredictable and that it is essential to know how to behave in front of them to avoid risky situations.

In addition, this experience made me reflect on the responsibility we have as human beings to protect and care for animals, both in their natural environment and in our daily coexistence. From that day on, I began to investigate more about animal behavior and to educate myself on how to act safely in case I find myself in a similar situation again.

Esta experiencia me enseñó una lección valiosa sobre el respeto a los animales y la importancia de saber cómo actuar en situaciones de peligro. Aunque aquel perro pudo haber sido simplemente curioso y no representar una amenaza real, su presencia me hizo comprender que los animales pueden ser impredecibles y que es fundamental saber cómo comportarse frente a ellos para evitar situaciones de riesgo.

Además, esta experiencia me hizo reflexionar sobre la responsabilidad que tenemos como seres humanos de proteger y cuidar a los animales, tanto en su entorno natural como en la convivencia diaria. A partir de ese día, comencé a investigar más sobre el comportamiento animal y a educarme sobre cómo actuar de manera segura en caso de encontrarme nuevamente en una situación similar.

The encounter with the dog that frightened me taught me a valuable lesson about respect for animals and the importance of being prepared to act appropriately in dangerous situations. Although it was a frightening moment, it was also an enriching experience that helped me to grow as a person and to appreciate even more the diversity of life on our planet. I will never forget that day, and I will always carry with me the lesson I learned from that animal that really scared me.

El encuentro con aquel perro que me causó miedo me permitió aprender una valiosa lección sobre el respeto a los animales y la importancia de estar preparado para actuar de manera adecuada en situaciones de peligro. A pesar de haber sido un momento aterrador, también fue una experiencia enriquecedora que me ayudó a crecer como persona y a valorar aún más la diversidad de la vida en nuestro planeta. Nunca más olvidaré aquel día, y siempre llevaré conmigo la lección que me dejó aquel animal que me asustó de verdad.

This is my third participation this week in the Hive Learners community, with the following topic to be developed:

”A Scary Animal: Tell us about the one time you came across an animal that really scared you. It could be a wild animal, or a domesticated one that terrified you all the same. How did you get into such a situation? How were you able to get out of it? What did the experience teach you about animals?”

Esta es mi tercera participación esta semana en la comunidad Hive Learners, siendo el topico a desarrollar:

”Un animal que da miedo: Cuéntanos la vez que te encontraste con un animal que te asustó de verdad. Podía ser un animal salvaje o uno domesticado que te aterrorizó igualmente. ¿Cómo llegó a esa situación? ¿Cómo pudiste salir de ella? ¿Qué te enseñó la experiencia sobre los animales?”

Muchísimas gracias por leer mi propuesta. Un gran saludo a todos. ¡Feliz viernes! Salgan, sonrían y diviértanse. Nos lo merecemos.

Hahaha, i can imagine how scared you were in that minute. I’m not a fan of dogs and they always give me the scare

Even to this day I don't like them very much, and they know it, they always show me their fangs and teeth.😂😂😂

I'm scared of dogs as well, I don't care the size cause size is nothing compared to the harshness they have😁😁

I think dogs are unpredictable. Although there are docile and friendly dogs, there is the possibility that one could react aggressively to a stressful situation. This uncertainty creates anxiety for me and makes me want to avoid any kind of interaction with dogs.

Hahaha 🤣 I can't stop laughing because I had a similar experience as well but mine was a little bit more because I ran and those dogs didn't stop pursuing me until someone came to my rescue.
Ever since then I always avoid dogs even though not all of them are aggressive but I can't tell which so the best thing to do is to stay away from them as far as I can.

When I was a child, a dog made me run around a swimming pool until a very kind man was able to stop it😂 I think that from that moment on I started to have aversion to dogs, I still don't trust them very much!

Hahahaha 🤣🤣. I can imagine what you went through that particular day. Dogs frightens people when they don't know how to treat dogs.
Thanks for sharing

Is that dogs feel when people are afraid of them, for me it has always been traumatic to be near a dog. To make matters worse my wife and all her family are lovers of these animals and all of them have had dogs, I've had to deal with them 🤣🤣😐😐😐

The lesson learnt is an important one, incase of next time you'd know how to react.

It is true, you should not run to a dog, they sense our fear, however I do my best not to get too close to them, I do not feel safe or confident around these animals.

It is scary that dogs can be so playful and can be dangerous. Like you said, it is important that one knows how to react to some of their actions. I have also read somewhere that avoiding direct eye contact with aggressive animals might make them less aggressive towards you.
