NIPPER
One day, while walking to school, Peter was bitten on the leg by a dog named Nipper. From that time onward, Peter ran away every time he saw Nipper. But Peter wasn’t only afraid of Nipper. Whenever he heard any dog barking, he became scared and would start to cry.
Peter’s parents were worried because they didn’t want Peter to be afraid of all dogs. They knew that all dogs weren’t like Nipper. They told him that most dogs would not bite him. They tried to introduce him to friendly dogs but Peter would not change his attitude towards dogs.
In fact, things even got worse. Peter wouldn’t stop to talk to anyone walking a dog on a leash. He refused to visit the homes of his friends who owned dogs. Peter even started carrying stones to throw at any dog he saw.
