Chloe has an intense phobia of dogs. When she was seven years old, she was cornered and bitten by a large, growling dog in a local park. Now, she feels highly anxious whenever she sees any dog, including small puppies. She takes long detours to avoid walking near parks or pet shops, which makes her feel immensely relieved and safe.
