Looks like Mike Farrel (MASH) with a hangover...
Ha! Ha! Very astute observation- he does like like Farrel. I bet the dogs were just protecting their territory. They knew this guy was a booze hound

It’s really hot, not a good time to put dogs outside for any length of time...heat may have played a part in this.

I don't jog around here anymore, too many loose dogs!
But when I did, I carried a knife, a 3’ oak dowel with a wrist strap on one end and an iron drawer pull on the other, and I always wore a big baggy shirt so when I put my arms out, I looked bigger.

I really recommend the stick; it takes a little work to put together, but it's effective in several ways; it's intimidating from afar, you can smack a charging dog before it gets close enough to soil your knife, and it makes the owners of unruly ‘flexi-lead’ dogs avoid you like the plague.

So, it's the jogger's fault because he doesn't look like a jogger?

I bet the dogs recognized him as the guy who snuck in their house and stole some Boones Farm Apple Wine.

I would say I can’t believe you’re making excuses for vicious dogs, but I kinda can. I just want to point out that we have a pack of dogs, confined outside, unneutered and left unattended and that led to an unprecedented attack.

As far as how the guy looks, well, I know I wouldn’t be looking my best after thirty stitches to various limbs and surgery to repair an eaten tendon...Poor guy.

I can’t imagine keeping a short-faced dog like a boxer outside in the heat of summer...We’re taking care of a stray boxer while we look for his family, and this poor guy can barely stand it when the house is over 70f.
They don’t do well in heat.

I'm not applauding the dogs. I'm just saying this particular man might have startled them with his unorthodox "jogger" appearance. Heck, the dog owner looked like a character right out of Deliverance. I'm surprised they didn't attack him, too.

I’ve been a runner and biker for 40-some years. Been involved in several multi-dog attacks. You have to face the bastards and be ready to harm one quickly and kill the next one. Protect your gut and be ready to take a scratch and a bite.

It’s serious business and you need an attitude.

Really? You said:

I bet the dogs recognized him as the guy who snuck in their house and stole some Boones Farm Apple Wine.

So what are you giggling about, if not that this jogger, whose appearence you disapprove of, nearly got eaten? If the owner is to be believed, the dogs have seen him before, on multiple occasions.

He said he had no idea why the dogs decided to attack, adding that the dogs...haven't attacked on other days when Potts has run by.

Rev 6:8 “And I looked , and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”

Just a thought....

The color must have confused the deer and that dog is not a happy camper...LOL

You’d think that even a deer could tell by smell that the dog is not it’s kind.

I’m surprised that the dog isn’t at the fawn’s throat.

I carry a knife when I go jogging-—fortunately never attacked by dogs but considering a possible upgrade in weaponry. Any suggestions?

Most here will suggest guns, and I can't disagree. Still, it's overkill for dogs. Something like this nice Fort Turner tomahawk will end rabid dog problems much faster than a knife will...I take mine everywhere.

The deer is a follower of diversity as ruled by the government. Screw anything that walks and breathes...

Boxers are the 9th most dangerous dogs. This attack is a great illustration of that.
