Why is there a stigma to not liking dogs?

Update:

I know some people, especially dog owners, who say that people who don't like dogs are bad people. Personally I think it's silly to make such a sweeping judge of character based on a person's interaction with one animal.

    Honestly, I'm unsure of this stigma as I actually have a love/hate relationship with dogs. I'm deathly afraid of them, but think that they're cute and mostly friendly, but I'm still terrified if my own dog jumps in my general direction. This was actually caused by a lot of bad memories as a kid from dogs that attacked me, so I don't quite get how it's a descriptor of my personality.

    I'd say it's based mostly around people not being very happy with the idea that someone doesn't like the same things combined with what is probably just a trending feature they've noticed which because the stigma.
