Stephen king cujo dog5/21/2023 I feared how probable the monster could be. Again, I’m not especially afraid of dogs and yet I found this book scary because of how familiar the monster in it’s pages is. The book was written in 1981 and I greatly feared and anticipated what animal abuse I may encounter in its pages. I went into Cujo (1981) not so much afraid of encountering a rabid dog but afraid I couldn’t handle the violence that would undoubtedly befall this poor, titular dog. Then, they might just want to terrify you. Unless that dog belongs in a Stephen King novel and their name is Cujo. If a dog scares you, they probably don’t mean to. When a large dog jumps on you, it’s most likely because they are excited. I know dogs are not inherently violent nor do they have any overtly violent intentions. (We’ve always been cat people, tbh.) Again, though, I’d like to emphasize that while I may have some anxieties related to man’s best friend, I’d never classify myself as phobic. Suffice to say, I never grew up in a house with a dog. When you’re a child, dogs can be so large, their teeth so potentially sharp. As a little girl, I did have some terrible recurring visions of a large dog knocking me to the ground, scratching or biting my face in the fall. When it comes to large dogs, I’ve always been cautious of getting too close, of letting them pounce on me. I’ve always maintained a healthy respect for them and the predators they once were for sure. Now, I’d like to state for the record that I’ve never been especially afraid of dogs.
