There is no direct connection between Down syndrome and a fear of dogs. Fear of dogs, known as cynophobia, can develop in any individual regardless of their health condition. It is important to approach individuals with Down syndrome, like anyone else, with patience, understanding, and respect when it comes to their feelings and fears.
Yes they can just like humans. My dog has it.

Therefore, no other animals can have 'Down's Syndrome' specifically. Other animals can, however, have three of other chromosomes and have a similar physical defect, although they rarely are able to survive in the wild.
