Hi all,
I’m walking to my car and as I approach I notice an off leash Pit approaching along the sidewalk. No ID tag, brindle, well fed with taill high in the air and hackles rising. I calmly put my red nose Chica in a sit stay. Like Eastwood in Unforgiven, we remain calm. I reach in my pocket and pull out my ever present Spray Shield. Wait for the dog to close to about four feet, and give it a nice spurt on the nose. The dog circles, comes back so I calmly spray him again. His tail drops, and he trots off. Props to Chica for keeping her cool. I open the car and Chica hops in. A sure dogfight became nothing more than a satisfying moment.Steve
