Explanation / Answer

Today in the morning as I was walking three dogs that I saw barked at me; based on this repeated observation I made this hypothesis that: all dogs will bark at me. Hence based on this argument that dogs are barking I made the conclusion that I should stop walking today. Since mine was a hasty generalization as the size of the sample was too small to support the conclusion I think I committed a fallacy of hasty generalization that led me astray.
