I strongly dislike my boyfriend’s dog

I don’t hate any animal, but i certainly am not a fan of dogs in any capacity, never have been & never will. I am autistic and they are a sensory nightmare for me. Unfortunately my boyfriend has a dog that would even test the patience of someone who likes dogs IMO.

CONTEXT: The dog doesn’t stay with my boyfriend because she’s too much work for him alone, she lives at his parents house and stays at his house on occasion.

Firstly, she stinks, like badly. Her breath smells of rotting meat and you can smell it from a couple of feet away, which doesn’t seem to bother him at all, but i literally GAG smelling her breath.

Secondly, she is TERRIBLY behaved, i’m talking they have to leash her to a piece of furniture or hold her back with full body strength when i enter the room because she will go berserk around new people. She barks and whines constantly for attention, and she will jump all over you and BITE you. Any time i’ve tried to pet her once she calms down a bit she will bite your hand and arm. Not hard but still enough to hurt considering she is a massive Rottweiler mutt thing. I also took her for a walk once and she pulled so hard i got knocked to the ground, this behaviour isn’t limited to humans either, she cannot be around other dogs or animals or she’ll attack them.

She is also the most clingy dog to ever exist, she has to sleep in my boyfriends bed or in the room or she will scratch and whine all night, even during the day if you go into a different room from her she hates it and goes crazy.

I know this makes me sound like a terrible person, but i don’t like dogs and i never will. My boyfriend also knows i dislike the dog and he doesn’t really care because even he can admit to himself that she’s an absolute liability. I only tolerate it because she’s not there all the time, i wouldn’t be with him for sure if she was at his place full time.
