I can relate to this. Once, while delivering papers, I was attacked by two dogs running loose. I had a rolled up paper and while fending off one dog with it, the other snuck around and bit my calf and shredded my jeans. I tried to kick the dog and they took off.
I bled quite a bit for the rest of the day and the jeans were soaked with blood.
There's something about the bag paperboys and mail carriers have that brings out the aggressiveness in otherwise nice dogs.
I wonder if carrying one of those aerosol horns I have in my boat would help. The noise would deafen the dogs (and wake up the neighbourhood!) and scare them off.
