Big white wolf-sized Shepherd didn't make a sound - his toenails on the concrete coming quickly up from behind alerted me, I looked back as he was going full-tilt-boogie and about to lunge at my right heel. My Jimmy Connors-power swing was automatic to the side of the doggie-noggin, knocking the other side of his head into my rear spokes... accompanied by a loud YELP. The adrenaline dump propelled me with blinding getaway speed....
