<p class=MsoNormal>I remember a while back there were some recommendations of
things to carry to stop an attack from another dog but I can’t remember
what the products were. This morning, while walking Penny, a pit-bull
broke out of its yard as we were passing its house and ran straight for
Penny. Thankfully Penny went flat to the ground and the dog’s owner
came running out of the house cursing at the dog while promptly ran away.
Both Penny and I are fine but very shaken up (and Penny is drooling worse than
when she goes to the vet). I case the pit-bull breaks out again (I
understand from their neighbor that it does so on a regular basis) I want to be
‘armed’ with something to prevent the dog from coming near Penny
and I. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For now I will change my regular route but the love of Penny’s
life lives a few doors down from this pit-bull so I don’t want to have to
avoid walking my hound on my own street forever because of this dog.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any recommendations would be useful. I talked to the
head of the homeowners association this morning because he happened to be
leaving to go to work at the same time we were out there. There have
apparently been multiple reports on this dog but there doesn’t seem to be
anything they can do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sarah, mommy to Penny (still shaking)<o:p></o:p></p>
