This is such a dumb take. I have two family members who were both attacked by dogs as children (yes, due to crappy owners, but still). Let people have their well earned anxiety. I love a good boy or girl as much as the next guy, but my cousin deserves to never want to be near a dog again. She was attacked at 5 and kids were still calling her scar face in highschool. Let people hate dogs.
Sure, but as someone with dogs in my life I’m going to want to socialise with people I can introduce my dogs to. Your cousin won’t want to be around me and I get that, it’s not about me.
Not everybody is for everybody, and that’s okay.
Edit: re-reading this, it sounded callous. I’m sorry your cousin got attacked, it must have been awful for her.

Nah, you’re all good! It’s just the parent comment calling her untrustworthy I don’t like!
