About that time, the (apparent) owner ran out into the road, frantically calling them. She was obviously trying to get them out of the road, but they ran past her! As I rode away I could hear her screeching cries. It was sad and comical at the same time.
I figure they were house dogs and rarely let outside. They must have escaped at an opportune time to have some fun.
I was really glad they ignored me and did not give chase. I was too pooped to sprint at that point.
Could have been worse, I work for the Post Office, and Thursday got bitten by a dog

.... I do maintain though, there are no bad dogs (including the one that bit me), just people who shouldn't have dogs but do....
