Last night, I was walking my dog in our new neigborhood. The corner house has five big dogs tied in the unfenced backyard. While we were rounding the corner, one of the dogs broke off it's chain and rushed at us. This dog is big, and mine isn't, so I picked mine up just in case. Luckily, this dog just wanted to get a closer look at us before running back home.
I now know not to round that corner anymore. But it made me think that if a mean dog was rushing at me (with or without my dog), I have no idea how to respond. Should I freeze? Run? Which actions would be least likely to antagonize the dog further and get myself hurt?
