What is the best way to take care of them for you joggers? No I don't have a carry conceal permit. I could get one but yeah no. I like to wear loose clothing. This is not ghetto dogs it just people let their dogs run free around and the likes. How do you guys deal with them?

either bring dog treats to throw to them so they like and trust you, or run with a stick.

I guess they weren’t Pits since you are still with us.

Btw, Pepper spray works or just outrun them.

I carry a 4 ft piece of 5/8 fiberglass rod.. it doesn't break and they don't like getting hit with it. Be sure to beat the shite out of the trashy owner too when they come out bitching ..

I like to run in the mountains or desert so mountain lions and snakes are my primary concern.

If I happen to be at a park or on a path/street with dogs I usually give a wide berth or slow down to a walk if they look jumpy (so as not to engage their fight or flight response).

I have been bitten by half a dozen dogs in my life (mostly herding dogs and Chihuahuas) and they don't really hurt.

Worst case scenario you just kick the mfr in the jaw and go for a 800m PR.

Worst case scenario is you get mauled by a pack of pit bulls like that video on OT yesterday.

Where you jogging in a 3rd world country?

I usually stop and try to pet the dogs. After that they are usually happy to see me. Another alternative is to take a few treats with you. Easy way to make friends with dogs.

3-4 years ago I was cornered by two dogs. One bit through my running short. I started screaming like a little bitch. Within 30 seconds I see this cop high tailing at me with his lights and sirens on. The dogs ran away but boy I’d never been so happy to see a cop.

It could’ve been worse because it was a block away from an elementary school that was about to let out for the day. Cop asked if I wanted to press charges or file a complaint or something...I don’t remember but I declined. I’ll never forget that day. Those were some expensive arse running shorts too.

A friend of mine carries the butt end of a pool cue with him. Light and solid

Small cattle hot shot. They’ll hide when they see you coming next time.

What's it like running in the plains of Africa?

I know your experience had to frightening, but the thought of two dogs running away like a couple of little hooligans when the cops show is hilarious to me.
