I am glad and relieved that Beanie and you are okay! Huskies have high prey drive. I am beyond tired of people who think "my dog would never do that."
Like you, I am always on the lookout for loose dogs and other threats. With some dogs, it makes no difference if you see them coming an pick up your small dog. The large dog can still jump on you and try to attack your dog in your arms.
We stopped walking in our neighborhood after seeing a 200 pound Cane Corso loose.

I used to carry bear spray until the can developed a leak and I got some spray on my finger and didn't realize it until I touched my eye. Talk about burn!!! Someone warned me about the sprays that if the wind is blowing you want to make sure the spray doesn't blow back on you and your pups. |
We go to an office park that has restaurants and hotels. At the regular park, everyone ignores the big signs that say "Dogs must be leashed."
Defensive sprays scare me. I know that I would end up getting it in my eyes or my dogs' eyes.
