Well, Gracielove, that old umbrella has even turned away all comers so far and when you are out in parks and such, you really don't feel you have a lot of control over the big loose dogs. But even the nastiest looking dog turns back or stops when they see that thing whoosh open. At least so far! And when those 2 little Spitz type dogs ran across the street at Tibbe not too long ago when it was raining and the umbrella already open and in use, it kept them at bay until their owners got them. It's saved the bacon a few times I think. And I think my little Jilly sensed I was confident having that umbrella hanging off my arm, so she didn't even stress on walks, even as she healed from her bite surgery!
