You never know what it will do. When I'm walking Bella and I see someone with a large dog that's not on a leash I'm always extra careful. Bella often barks at dogs and some dogs will see this as agression. Personally I hardly ever let her of her leash, only in the forest and only if R. is with us too. <br /><br />A couple of weeks ago I was running outside the village and I saw in the distance 2 large dogs on the road. Usually those dogs are in a kennel but now they were free. It was early, around 6 am and I didn't risk it to pass them and just turned around.<br /><br />I'm glad that nice nurse drove you home and hopefully this was your only "meeting" with this dog.

Even if you are not certain of the address or ownership please report to animal control. They can patrol the neighborhood. I am a dog lover but dangerous dogs and/or dogs that are not properly contained endanger the community. Others, in particular children, may not have the ability to deal with the situation. If you have already done this please disregard my busy body comment :) Stay safe and enjoy the run!

I feel like they could end up dead (NWG--neighbors with guns.)<br /><br />Anyway, so glad you are having such a great season.

My route that I take is a constant incline as well and I just hate it but it is the most level ground besides the school running track in my town.<br /><br />You should carry pepper spray especially how early in the morning you run.

I had a neighbor who was deathly scared of dogs (even calm ones, puppies, ALL DOGS) and she would immediately panic and start running and of course the dogs would think she's playing and it was just a terrible sitch.

You never know when you might use it on an animal or human. You can never be to sure especially us women :) I'm with you tho, I'm not sure if I could use it, but you never know.

Unfortunately it doesn't even surprise me any longer how many people just let their dogs out of the house thinking that it's early morning and it won't matter. I have no patience for that sort of thing.<br /><br />Isn't it fun to find a running tool that works?

No shame in running the easier way on the route - sometimes that is what the day calls for! I have a few routes like that, too! :)<br /><br />That scares me about the dog :( Thank heavens that girl could give you a ride! I'd avoid that area for awhile, too. Funny thing about the pepper spray - I was also gifted some that has been in the package for a year! I am pretty sure if I ever use it, it will hurt me more... lol.

I know that must of been really scary to go through I had that happen to myself once too and a neighbor rescued me.
