That's quite common with kids who grow up without pets, I solved this one by getting a puppy.
The other fear, of large animals is tamed (ie turned into respect) by horse riding lessons and spending a little time on a dairy farm - however, bullocks do need some respect as they can at times be intimidating even to adults.
