You are ready to head out for a while so you are dressed and ready and 'carrying', but want to get your mail before leaving. All of a sudden an above mid sized dog comes charging up the street towards you, teeth bared and growling big time. You cannot be sure of its intent but know it cannot be good. What do you do? Please post your comments to this situation. Thanks.
I will stand my ground, yell warnings/commands, a big stick is something good to walk with, but will draw and fire if I have to. If you turn, shy away from or run they are more likely to attack, Pepper spray work on an attacking dog? Not sure if I'd trust it at that point.
