My wife, 15 week old daughter and I go for walks while the weather is still nice. We stay in our neighborhoods mostly. We are one street over from our home and are walking up a slight incline in the road. I'm looking over at a house and my wife says my name in a worried voice.
I whip my head back around and notice a dog (breed unknown, size of a German shepard) heading towards us full bore from about 100 ft away. I told my wife to get back (daughter in stroller). I stepped forward and started to draw my pocket knife and as the dog was about 15 ft away I yelled, "NO DOG, NO". Sure enough it stopped. By this time the owner is yelling at the top of her lungs for the dog to return. It does turn around and head back.
I have passed this dog before and it is usually chained up in the front yard. It always barks (normal). The owner never said a word to us and headed inside.
As we head back to the house my wife asked, "Where you going to kill that dog?" and I said, "If it got within arms length I was sure going to try."
Be careful out there. It makes me wonder what would have happened if I wasn't there with my wife and child.
