my wife was telling me she gets turnt up when people have dogs around the kids and that makes me feel good. at our last house there were some neighbors down the street who had some big ol dogs that always would get out, and if you acted scared at em theyd come fuck with you - the few times they came running up to me id square to em and ball my fists up and shout "NO, DOG." at their faces and theyd try me a bit and id give em the look like i knew they were property and theyd run off to find someone else to harass.
usually my wife skips fight and flight both and just huddles, but the way she talk about how she gets when shes scared a dogs gonna fuck with the kids, i dont worry about it.
anyway the lesson of all of this is if you got a dog tryna fuck you, act like a bear. a normal dog is going to back down if pressed, a sick dog is going to attack you no matter what so you might as well be ready to fight, and a trained dog is going to fucking hurt you. either of these 3 cases, be a bear.
