We have an unfriendly dog close to where we live. I try to outrun him. In traffic, I am afraid his distraction might cause me to run stop signs, etc.. My patience is running out.. If the dog is in your neighborhood, you should first report it to the police.. 2. Think I am going to start carrying my pepper spray . Annoying dogs seem to come with two dispositions. 1. All show , stop and chase them they run away. Or.. They are determined to take a nip of your calf.. .. I wonder if once subjected to pepper spay, if they would still continue their behavior. Maybe make them meaner.?
