There was once the dog was in my path and I just went past it quickly. I could hear the dog getting frightened, the kinda sound a dog would make when it gets startled. I just went by and luckily the dog didn't chase after me. I know that I should not be startling animals but well, learnt my lesson after I read some articles. I could have been a close call and I could be chased down considering my fitness and equipment back then.
