The incident occurred on the Goldenrod Trail at the Anthony Chabot Regional Park in Oakland, California, on Thursday, January 3. The runner attempted to defend herself when a dog reportedly attacked her on the trail by spraying it with pepper spray.
Then, the dogs owner approached the runner, and a physical altercation ensued, according to an alert by the East Bay Regional Park District Police. The dogs owner bit the runner, a police spokesman told Runners World.
The suspect also tackled and punched the runner before biting her in the forearm, according to NBC Bay Area. The runner shot a video on her phone of the suspect as she walked away.

It’s Oakland............Right across the bay from SF...............
‘Nuff said.
OTOH, she has a dog as a pet, not as dinner....
Looks like she should have sprayed two dogs.
Is that a .380? Looks a lot like my Ruger LC-9, only a wee bit smaller.
It is a .380.
It is quite a bit smaller and slimmer than your LC-9. Really great for pocket carry.
I could see carrying one of these while jogging. It is light enough that it would not effect your stride.
