There is this new building at Zeena Street where Fabulous lives and they have a dog; meaning that sometimes the dog is allowed to roam about the neighbourhood, and Fabulous is a young girl who lives in the opposite building"
Anytime she is coming back, she sees the dog is let loose, she immediately waits at a safe distance to allow the dog to pass or move on.
And funny enough, it is a local dog. This continued for some time, and if the dog refuses to move on, she requests the assistance of a passerby to escort her to a safe distance close to home.
She had to start talking to some people in the street she doesn’t talk to; to help her pass if the dog is in the way.
She reported it to her parents, and they told her that it was a local dog that minds its business and stays out of people’s way and that it runs when it sees people. Fabulous was confused and tired of being scared; She avoided going on errands. To her, the dog knows her face and once it sees her coming, it will come out.
This went on for a while until Fabulous got the courage to pass whenever she saw the dog. So one day, on her way back home from church, as usual, she saw the dog and immediately a girl around the age of 10 walked past it. Fabulous said she could do it. Curiously, she asked the girl if she was scared, and the girl said no, that the dog was scared of me, which is why it was hiding"
Fabulous took the boldness to pass, cautiously saying silent prayers till she passed the area where the dog was, and guess what, it didn’t even look in her direction or bite her till she entered her house and locked the gate. Smiling to herself, she said, "I did it."
Later that day as she laid on her bed; she told herself that she has been afraid for nothing and the dog she was even afraid of does not even care about her if at all it even sees her so she has been afraid of something that does not care about her". In her head she said "Stop thinking of the problems yet when you have not started the journey"
Fabulous still doesn’t like dogs😅
