I once encountered a LARGE Pitt Bull...alone....unaccompanied in a nearby downtown area at night a few years ago...
we were walking iun opposite directions ..towards each other....
I changed directions and climbed a concrete Divider...until the dog passed and went on its way.
it stood below me a growled a few times before resuming his walk..and I was very very glad I had taken refuge where I was.
ther there was the time I was walking in a rather unpopulated suburban neighborhood making photographs,
I was looking through the veiwfinder of my camera about to cick the shutter...and I felt something tugging in my pant leg
Yes a large UGLY pit bull had taken a liking to my trousers
I looked...I froze...and the OWNER... several yards away LAUGHED about it...
he called the dog....it left me alone..while he was trying to tell me what a sweet widdo puppy the dog was.
I told him I didnt care HOW dang SWEET IT WAS...etc...etc..
LOL. I’ve been scared by dogs before, of various breeds. It is very good that you have smart, quick instincts.
As a kid I used to hate it when dogs would chase after my pant leg while riding my bike. Why do they do that?
