Could you please explain in greater detail the near mauling. On the occassion of a dog on dog attack - neither mine - the agressor obeyed when I bellowed DOWN. Never squeal, you will sound like a squeaky toy and will encourage unwanted further attention. If a dog bites and holds, cover the dogs head with a coat, and instinctively it will release its grip when it can not see. I would not recommend pepper spray, but - a water bottle with the squirty top - its the sudden distraction that halts current behaviour - squirt it with water - I was going to say 'water pistol' - but I think people have been shot for similar - by mistake of course - but the hole in the ground is a six foot one regardless.
As for the goose - most effective guard creatures utilised by the romans and still used by the MOD. Dont just run, plan your escape because they can be cunning buggers capable of planning I believe - they usually go for the ankle I think.
The dogs should not be loose on the street anyway, and their owners are responsible for any costs incurred by dogs behaviour. Sadly, in UK they would come under dangerous dogs act and face death for causing 'fear or trepidation' - even a yorkie can be level with a GSD or a Bull Terrier when it comes down to that one sentence.
Personaly - I blame the owners, not the dogs, so an ice pick lobotomy on the owners should be fair. Not the dogs fault, its owners that choose the dogs, not other way round.
