+12! Most days at the end of my morning commute there's this average sized woman with a VERY LARGE St. Bernard walking on the trail. Evidently the dog doesn't care for moving objects (I asked), so the beast has lunged at me a couple of times. I tried making nice, but my best bet is to keep my eyes straight and keep pedaling. My question is, if you have a dog that weighs more than you, that lunges at people, why would you have it on a flex leash?!?!?
