Hear ya. A carry dog could be the solution, like the Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Spl. Only around 20 ozs.
I’ve never heard of that one. I’ll have to check it out, thanks! Then I just have to grow eyes in the back of my head lol! Seriously though I have had bad dreams about being chased by large loose canines since I was a kid. It stems from spending the weekend a few times a year at my grandparents house where they would keep their vicious dogs in the dark basement while we kids were there and their barking coming from that scary place seemed ominous.
