The dog threads always seem to bring out the gun/mace carrying people. My argument to that whole idea is this: Anyone who has enough time to pull out and use whatever they're carrying has enough time to pedal the f##k out of the situation.
The second post by lowcel was poignant. Indeed, the owners of these beasts are the ones to be afraid of. Stay alive: Practice your sprints and keep the toys at home fellas.
Maybe everyone is not the speedster that you are or maybe the dog got a jump on him or had an angle that could not be outrun. This is exactly what occured in this case. You also missed my post that he was a policeman and knew how to handle a gun much more than a typical person. So that time you are talking about is about a second or two, not some long time to contimplate and pedal out of the situation.
