Yes, I know how you feel. I walked Josh today in my neighborhood. A stray dog came running out of somebody's yard trying to attack my dog. I picked Josh up, and I yelled at the dog to go away. The dog kept on following me and giving me this intense stare. I could not turn my back or run away from the dog, because I was afraid he would attack me. He followed me about six houses down the street. Then I decided to throw a bag I was carrying to pickup Josh's waste or rocks. I did not want to throw the bag or rocks at the dog, but I had to protect myself. When I repeatedly swung the bag in the air, then the dog decided to leave me alone. I could not believe the neighbor that was located right next to the yard where the dog came running out trying to attack me. They watched the whole thing without offering me any help as if they were watching a movie. How sad. I am definitely going to buy some mace. I love walking my pet. I would not want to be scared to walk my dog, because of some irresponsible owners.
