A friend of mine just rode the same route as SinGate above and was "attacked" by the same two dogs last night. She was very scared just as SinGate was.

What would the police do if called?
This is open country; farmland. It hardly seems fair for the guy to have to chain up his dogs....

I'm thinking let the dog bite me and then sue the man and take his farm (and no i am not kidding).
