Dog Attacks Can be a Problem for Joggers
The neighborhoods of the lower socioeconomic status seem to have the most problem dogs. Should a dog run after you, stop. I know this sounds crazy, but running excites dogs.
Hopefully you can walk out of the dog's roving range. Should the dog attack, use your pepper spray to repell and disable the dog from harming you. Pepper spray is an non-lethal effective dog repellant that is easy to carry on your run.
If you like to jog on trails through a park, it's like having a sign on your back that says "victim". Hundreds of women are sexually assaulted every year jogging on trails, and dozens murdered. |
