Trying to face down a big, hostile and focused-in 110+ lb. dog or even a pair of them is so daunting. We have two that live way down on the end of the block across the alley that sound like lions when they roar and boy, they hit their huge wooden fence with such force and fierceness it moves several inches when you walk your 5 lb. dog past and you realize if those guys ever get loose and zero in, you and your dog better be prepared. One way to prepare is just stay away from that vicinity, which we now do.
I also walk with an auto-open umbrella once my 3lb. Yorkie was attacked by a 65 lb. Dalmatian and had to have surgery. Want me to post about how that tool can help on here?
