Nothing happened and our four dogs acted like it was nothing, but I was so upset after this. We had another thread lately on this topic and someone mentioned carrying a big umbrella and opening it towards the ground if another dog starts to charge. Just that motion can deter the dog. Glad everything worked out for you, and I don't blame you for taking a different route!
To answer your question, I guess you have to call your local animal control to know the answer. |
It really is a very scary experience especially when you feel so helpless. I'm sure if that dog had cleared that fence there'd be nothing i could do to defend myself or Lexie aside from holding her up in the air, and we've all seen and heard the damage they can do. Thanks for the umbrella suggestion, it's crazy that people would be so careless and put others and their own dogs at risk.
