Too bad she didn’t have a firearm. RIP.
Always carry your dog spray.
I have great dogs on my route but I have some bad ones too. There’s one that waits for me to get out of the truck. So we’ve gotten to the point where I open and slam my door shut. Then the dog comes running. I’ve used the spray once and also on a rooster that wouldn’t leave me alone. The rooster learned his lesson.
If I can’t bring a gun, I will have pepper spray. If I CAN bring a gun, a will have a gun and pepper spray.
I tell the dogs while they are running up that I don’t want to hurt them, but I will. Sometimes they get what I’m saying but a couple of times they just kept coming - both times it was pit bull dogs. I was sorry to have to spray them.
A rooster. Dang! I’ve gotten chased by geese before.
