A great suggestion!
When Shawntay came to live with us (she was four) she was terrified of dogs, big or small. The sight of one would send her into absolute hysterics, and she would jump onto anything or into anyone's arms to avoid them. Basically, she melted down.
Our daycare provider had two dogs (a bad setup, but I didn't know of her fear before she came to live with us when I set it up with close friends), and on her first day there she had to carry Shawntay around for the first hour or so. By the end of the day she was throwing a ball for them. Now she hugs my parents dogs constantly (a rottweiller and a black lab) and comes back covered in fur from playing with them.
Enough about us! I think Kiwi's suggestion is a great one.
