51. My sister's dog despised me and I loved him!...

Well, I tried to love him. He would growl and yap at me, and only me, most of the time. He loved my husband and kids. He had no reason to dislike me and I always tried to show him that. He wouldn't even take a treat from me. Oh, but he would let me walk him when everybody else was too cold to take him outside all the while giving me a cautious look and not letting me pet him. And a few times he would let me hold him when he wanted to warm himself. Otherwise, I got the stink-eye.
