This is yet another reason why I still ride with a full sized frame pump. Makes for a good defence tool.

I had a bullmastiff. 130 lbs. Was the worst guard dog on the planet. I couldn't teach him to protect anything. I swear that anyone could walk into my house and take whatever they wanted and he wouldn't care. One day we were out for a walk and we came across two men acting kinda strange. I think they might have been in the middle of a drug deal or something. All of a sudden I hear this noise like rumbling thunder, but there was not a cloud in the sky. I realized it was my dog growling. I'd never heard him growl before. He never lunged or did anything aggressive, he just kept rumbling in his very wide chest and stood between me and the men. I nearly passed out from shock. He would actually protect something, me!! I miss him soooooo much.
