terrifying (and I am a dog lover)

my first dog was a bit unpredictable with strangers and we were ultra ultra careful with her (she was a most loving dog to her family)

so I am amazed when people are slack over dogs that can be aggressive.............

I have always been told that you never run away from a dog and used water or a loud voice to shock them into disobedience (but I think my natural instinct would be to run and who has water to hand)

anyway, there are lots of tips on the internet about how to defend yourself against a dog attack but I do hope it never happens again for you.
