Do any of you guys have dog encouter stories while running?

3 weeks ago on an early morning run, two very large loose dogs (one a pit bull) charged me. Luckly for me there was a parked pickup truck right next to me, so I jumped in the back of the bed. The killer dogs ran around the truck a few times, then, just ran off. Needless to say when the coast was clear, I jumped out and finished my run in the other direction. Wink Now I carry pepper spray with me. Evil grin

Another post about dogs (I won't make any oldguy jokes because you posted over there already Smile)

Jade Knights story was a trip! Big grin

I am not a fan of dogs and have had various encounters with them. Typically, I try to avoid them as quickly as possible.

Last year, I jumped a 9 foot fence so I would not have to face a big dog who was salivating for some man meat. If I could... I would carry a .2 automatic, but I run at a school sometimes which is a no-no.

Couple at my church got attacked by a dog. The dog was not put to rest. The man got some nice wounds on his rear end. The woman has very bad scars up one leg and butt. She does not wear short dress/skirts any more.

I believe TX is instituting a law which will impose $10K fines to dog owners when they attack someone.

I think that is a good idea, in addition to putting the animal down. Perhaps people would think before letting any dog loose if they might feel pain in their own pocketbook. But I think there should be fines for simply having a loose dog, even if it doesn't attack. Waiting to fine people until after their dog has harmed someone else is too late, IMO.
