Regardless if it wants to hurt you or not, running is a bad idea. Most dogs are faster than you, and the bigger ones don't even have to use teeth to take you down, trust me. If it is aggressive, you're screwed. If its not, you take a big chance of -making- it aggressive by running.

Once again I will mention that I was not running. I was keeping a post between us. I will not say this again.

What you need to do if this occurs again Tigbit is ask the dog what it's intentions are.

101 ways to get your throat ripped out by an undiciplined animal.

1) Stand still. (It won't attack... really it won't)

2) Grab both legs and pull apart.

3) Try to punch the animal's nose.

4) Ask it what it's intentions are.

97 left to go.... any other ideas?

The Difference between Liberals, Conservatives and Texans

Situational Issue: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

Liberal Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have an appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun and what kind of message does this send to society and my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while
he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion.

Conservative Answer:

BANG!

Texan's Answer:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click... (Sounds of reloading).

Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do you kids think?"

Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it too..."

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click.

Daughter: "Nice group, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips?"
