We had the same thing happen when these ladies were walking their husky dog (off the leash). He came whipping around the corner growling and I had just time to tug on Mabel's harness lifting her in the air and into my arms. Darwin was still on the ground and I was ready to kick the husky but we also had Zain, our protector, who is about 120 pounds of fluff and attitude - the dog almost ran into Zain and then the other dog wasn't so tough and hightailed it out of there. Not exactly sure how it would have gone without Zain and hope we never will have to find out. Now, this wouldn't be a problem if people in towns were responsible and kept there dogs on a leash - wish people would take them to the bush to let them run loose!!
