Lost fear of dogs

How a girl lost her fear of dogs |
There was a girl named Angela. At 12 years old she was intimidated by dogs. It didn�t matter if they were big or small. She became frightened and would start to cry.
One day she went for a walk with her parents and she saw her classmate, Susi, who was walking a large black dog.
Angela felt very uncomfortable and began trembling.
"What shall I do?" she thought. "She is my classmate and I don�t want her to see my fear because she is a blabbermouth, and I don't want the other kids to know about my fear of dogs. I must change my behavior and be brave."
Angela gathered all her courage and said, "Hi, Christine, how�s it going?"
Angela's parents were surprised because their daughter didn�t cry. She even tolerated the dog sniffing her.
Since then Angela hasn�t been afraid of dogs. She has overcome her fear by changing her thoughts.
