Geez, there's no way I'm going to jump into this one with specific names of places. I may have to go back to some of them in the future. I will echo BluesDawg's feelings about hitting the pavement. First hand experience a bit over a year ago just about cost be the sight in one eye. I will say, however, that I've only ever seen packs of chasing dogs in rural areas. That doesn't mean they don't exist, only that it's the only place I've seen them. BTW, Akohekohe, in the photo you posted I don't think the dog is chasing you. I think he wants whatever it is you're packing in that rather large bag hanging off the rear of your bike.
