    Faced a loose Pitbull when walking the streets on my own. It wasn't until then that I realised a dog is completely capable of killing me and there would be nothing I could do to stop it.

    Fortunately, it turned out to be quite friendly, and the owners came looking for it a few minutes later.

      I've been seeing stories like this recently about people being confronted or attacked by random dogs. It makes me appreciate my pocketknife even more. I don't want to stab a dog but I will if I'm attacked.

        You'd probably be a whole lot better off with a small air horn. They're used frequently in training problem behaviors out of aggressive dogs, and they work wonders.
