I have dog issues when I go out jogging. I always go out late at night. It's more quiet then. I have headphones on, so I don't always notice when the dogs are after me until one is right next to me. I stop running, which makes some of them stop. Others stop only while I am facing them. The third category wants a piece of my ass, no matter what I do. Those I kick at and pray.
I carry a sharp screwdriver in my pocket as a last resort. I used to have a long and pointy "letter-opener" (think stiletto) until I lost it. I am beginning to hate dogs and the people who own them. They leave their dosg outside with no supervision most of the time. These dogs come after me just for walking by on the opposite side of the road. I haven't been injured yet, but if that happens, there's going to be a dead dog and a lawsuit in their future. The scariest encounter I had was a pit bull headded full speed at me. It turned out to be a friendly dog, but it had me worried coming straight at me like that. The owner laughed his ass off when I jumped back and reached for my instrument of pain.
