Cause I CAN
Moving right along....
I run with my Dobermans, one at a time. Last week on our usual route, my male, who is a mean looking dog, was attacked by a Shih Tzu. The 45' leash had slipped out of the owner’s hands, and he tried to make it seem like I'd done something wrong. You know, with my dog in a harness, never leaving my side, and on the other side of the street, I made his dog come after us.
Feeling the growl again

Imminent Catastrophe
That is scary. Despite my avatar, I am TERRIFIED of dogs, especially pit bills and Dobermans ...

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Hey, my Dobes are offended by that Seriously, mine are always on leash and under control. They are all rescue dogs and despite their reputation and appearance they are really pussies. This makes us a magnet for rogue dogs. I live in rural Georgia and we have lots of them. 99 percent of the time the offending mutts will run away if challenged, but pepper spray is probably a good idea for that one percent. My stance is this--if they stay on their property, they are just doing their job. If they come into the street, I will use rocks, sticks, pepper spray or whatever is required to defend myself and my running partner (that would be Daisy, on the left in the photo).
