I carry pepper spray and a big walking stick. I'm not very big and neither are my dogs, so I want some protection. There is one loose dog in the neighborhood all the time. He just runs up and wants to sniff, but he stays away since I've been carrying the walking stick. I didn't threaten him, just carry the stick. There are some big dogs in my neighborhood and if they got loose, it could be big trouble, so I keep my eyes open.
