Hey,
I'm a dog lover, I've got two of my own. But I ran into a weird situation today.
I was biking to work, and this woman had two dogs off leash. Medium sized labradors. They gave chase and I found out that you can't outrun dogs on a bike. I got off the bike. They were barking loudly and aggressively the whole time. I tried talking calmly, but they wouldn't stop. I was a little bit scared of escalating my voice to frighten them, but in retrospect, would it have worked? I imagine I will run into this again, and I'd like to have something effective, and ideally nonviolent.
Thanks,
Will
