Thank you, Dogmama, for saying exactly what I feel! I am one of those terrified people!!! If I dog chases me on my bike, I cannot tell if it's trying to be friendly and run with me, or if it wants to eat me up. My brain automatically assumes the latter. But this fear is not going to keep me off the road. I carry my pepper spray just in case, but I don't know if I'd ever have the presence of mind to actually use it. Terror kind of messes with your thought processes. This loose dog thing just gives me something else to complain about, and anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that I'm a very skilled complainer

By the way, my two cats bite. They stay inside so they've never chased anyone down on the street, but they've been known to bite guests. So why am I not scared to death of cats?
