Glad that you are ok! I feel unleashed dogs are unloved dogs. Unfortunately for one thing there are so many dogs that they don't always go to responsible owners.

My shelter rescue pit/lab mix has met and likes rabbits, alpacas, cows, horses, pigs, a kangaroo (her very first BFF was a kangaroo), cats if she feels they are her cat, and now finally after lots of work some dogs. She does not even blink at bikes, scooters, skateboards ... bikes are just what's all over the house.

I love her, she's saved my life a bunch of times. See story below. But if she attacked a person or someone had to fend her off with a bike I would have to have her put down.

We (meaning mutt and I) were attacked by a rotwheiler (sp?) one evening on our walk. Mae fought off the much bigger dog drawing him away from me and ultimately he ran home. Once home I discovered she'd been bit and hurt. I called animal control. They sent the police. I called my vet.

In my case it turned out that a responsible owner was away, relatives were house sitting, they forgot to lock the gate. Animal control temperment tested the dog. I guess he passed Ordered the owner to keep the doggie inside, leashed outside or fenced. It goes on the doggies "permanent record" so if anything happened again they probably would require the dog put down.
