Dog and owner attack jogger

7.7/10

Average through the dog spraying, but bonus points for spraying the owner. Would have been more if you could have explained how the dog owner overtook the jogger.

lol +1

I was just discussing how effective pepper spray would be for two or more attackers with some friends. We all thought the attackers would swarm rather than lining up to be sprayed as if they were in a martial arts film. I guess not...

a job can be dangerous. some coworkers should be pepper sprayed even if they can prove they are neutered.

This morning as I was running in my neighborhood there was a man jogging, he was about 40 or 50 years old. I was about half a mile back. Then I see see this large German shepherd running after him and barking, the jogger reaches for his pepper spray and sprays the dog, the dog then backs off but the jogger sprays the dog again and the dog ends up crying and running away, then the owner of the dog comes running yelling at the jogger in a belligerent way, then the jogger sprays the owner, the owner then sits on the street and seems to be gasping for air. The jogger then jogs away.

For some reason it was hilarious to me, I couldn't stop laughing. I know it's immature(im 26) to laugh at their pain but damnit I couldn't help myself.

The runner did the right thing. Dogs can be extremely dangerous, and the owner then attacking him was a red flag as well. I would have tried to catch up with the runner and talk with him, as he seems like a good person to know.

Obviously the runner knew the territory and had thought this through ahead of time.

Skip the pepper spray. What you want is a collapsible baton. They're great for fending off dogs (a raised arm with something in it usually stops them). Plus you can use it to crack windshields, bust out turn signals, down cyclists, etc. Very handy.

He probably works for the WWE.

there once was a very large dog that used to chase me EVERYTIME I ran by the house. the house where it lived was located in the town I lived, but on the outskirts. it actually bit me one day, and I had to go to the hospital to be seen/tested. I sent a letter to the owner through my attorney regarding the incident. he refused to pay my medical bill. I decided spending money on this was a time and money wasting route. about 6 months later, I came back with hot dogs that I'd put strychnine into, and I poisoned that mf'ing dog. I feel bad about it once in awhile, but am glad that I did it.

You, sir, are a loser.

He got rid of a killer dog, good for him.
