       [ "Pull Away Pet Syndrome" ]

      1: Pull Away Pet Syndrome is a type of syndrome where YOU, yes, YOU are afraid of pets for the slightest things. For example, if a pet makes a weird sound or some sort of "growl" towards you. You will be USAIN BOLT for about 5 seconds and dart away. Extended time with these pets and learning to not be afraid, see their body signs, and act friendly and slow do help. It is definitely a curable syndrome but it CAN TAKE TIME!

        * e.g.,  ... Me: Oh yeah, Sienna's cat is here.
