While a lot may find joy in being glomped and pounced by a wet nose and a wagging tail, some are at the other side of the coin, cowering in fear at the sight of these furries. Bea Alonzo shares the struggle and the fulfillment of overcoming her fear of dogs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was six years old, I was trapped inside a dog house,\u201d Bea started sharing in a lengthy Instagram post.<\/p>\n

According to the actress, she was playing hide and seek with her cousins and eventually found herself hiding in a dog house.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was attacked by the dog (who had just given birth and was disturbed by the naughty little girl),\u201d Bea wrote referring to her younger self.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat incident made me fear dogs for the past 24 years,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

For Bea who was haunted by this fear from a young age until her adulthood, no one knew that she would lose it at the sight of another dog.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still am scared actually, but three days ago, I got this cute little puppy from a nice guy,\u201d she wrote, refusing to not drop a name.<\/p>\n

\u201cI swear, I screamed the first time I saw the puppy!\u201d she exclaimed saying that she might have scared her new baby furry friend.<\/p>\n

Bea said that as part of her New Year\u2019s resolution, she vowed to overcome her fear of dogs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just went for it and held him. And he is the gentlest dog I have ever seen. Fell in love with him instantly,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

Named Walter White, Bea shared to her Instagram world, a Maltese puppy \u2013 she claims to be obsessed with now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait to get on this journey with him for I have not experienced this kind of love before\u2026 love for animals. I know I will learn a lot from this journey,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n
