Looks like you've drunk the liberal kool-aid. Pepper spray is harmless, even to the dog who wants a pound of your flesh.
"Any dog" includes those who will not take "NO" or "SIT" or "GO HOME" as an answer, and who will bite.
I guess I can understand the concern about firearms, which admittedly are overkill, pun intended. But pepper spray is harmless and merely disengages the attack. Although if a dog truly is trying to bite you, it doesn't deserve any mercy and should be put down.
