UPDATE: Two more unleashed dogs tried to attack me tonight! Man, it was tough flailing a knife at both of them. Again, they didn't try to get past the knife. If they did, they may not have lived to regret it. I'm not sure of the breed, but they were FAST. And once again, the owner beat them upon catching up to them. They sprinted fifty yards to try to attack me. I always carry my knife partially opened when crossing Central Park. This is now the second time it's saved me in less than 6 months. I still prefer the occasional dog attack than cramming onto a subway or bus, though. Furthermore, my job is only a quick 15 min. roll from my apt. Public transport can take over an hour (which is why I bagged it!)
