My neighbor and her dog were attacked by a pitbull that had gotten loose.

She always carries some type of anti- bear spray with her attached to her leash for easy access - and suggested I do the same.

My little dog was attacked once while he was on-leash by a pitbull that had been rescued - that was also on-leash. If I hadn’t been able to grab my small dog and place him up on a retaining wall I think the pitbull would have killed him.

Now, I always carry some type of pepper spray on my leash when I go out.

"bear spray with her attached to her leash"

Uh...NO....your dog will be yanking the leash all over and you won't be able to access the spray.

I carry a gun....and will not hesitate to use it if a pitbull attacks my dog.
