Dogs

More importantly, I had a shopping bag with a can of deodorant spray inside, and I managed to deploy this to good effect. I sprayed inside the mouth and the eyes, and it couldn't cope.
My niece carries pepper spray when she takes her dog out. At least gives you a shout at getting to safety.

That's a good idea but kids won't think of these things.

I was bitten by an alsatian when I was around 9 years old that saw me running down the road and it jumped over the back gate of this house and then chased me as far as i could run and sunk its teeth into my knee.

Dog owners also need to make sure their properties are secure so their dogs cannot escape off their property!

Our old window cleaner used to torment our dog when he was cleaning the windows. 
He seemed upset that the dog also had a better bucket and chamois leather. We eventually did a deal, and the dog was happy enough just washing the car.
