[Doodlebug]

Thanks for all of the ideas. I think I will check into the bear spray first. I used to carry a can but it leaked and I unknowingly got some on my fingers and then rubbed my eye. Boy that stuff stung! But I think I might try it again. I was reading about baton tazers which I think I will check into too. If you have to use it on an attacking dog at least your hands would be away from the snarling dog. But I guess I have to find out if they are legal to carry first.
