I'm always on the look out for big dogs when I take my litlte guys for walks. I was almost attack by a rottweiller a few years ago. I didn't have Jerome back then, but I had Oscarito(rainbow bridge) and Chikis who is still with us when I saw those 100 and something pound dog coming towards us I pulled the leash and strted spinning/cause it was too late for me to run, but I figured spinning would make it harder for the dog to catch any of my babies or me, then I started screaming for help and someone came to the rescue and luckily, no one was hurt. It just gives me the chills to remember that incident.
I think I would be getting the citronella stuff too.
Thanks for the info though.
