You should be prepared because eventually you will be encountered by another stray dog. Carry a stick, mase/pepper spray, or an air horn.
I take an air horn even when im walking my pit bull, not to protect my dog(he is more than capable of that) but to protect the other dog. I dont want someone trying to press charges on me because my leashed dog bit their stray that came at us. I also carry a break stick just in case something were to happen. I have copies of his registration, all shots and his tags are always on his collar. With him being a pit bull and something were to happen he would be taken away wether it was our fault or not, so i take every precaution. Not that My pup is mean at all, he is the most loving in the world, but the world doesnt see that so we protect ourselves every way possible, thats what being a responsible owner is all about.
