First, I think it's very significant and insightful of you to recognize that you have these feelings and that they are not normal. That's a huge first step. I agree with others who have said the only way to get to the root of this is to see a therapist who can help you work through your emotions and the associations you attribute to the small dogs.

Question, do you also feel this way about other small animals, like cats, or is it just dogs?
