Bitten, lost, hurt: when fear stays after the danger, sentence 5
What slowly turned the alarm down was not his cousin chasing him with a dog "to get him over it", but learning the dog rules (ask the owner, let it sniff first) and meeting one calm, friendly dog slowly at his aunt's.
Who acts: cousin, owner, dog · What happens: turn down, not be, chase, get, learn, ask · To what, where: alarm, cousin, fear, dog rules, dog, one calm friendly dog · Speech: someone speaks here
