Dog Problems

There are quite a few people running/walking with the spring weather, I personally have had some dog issues and have started running with Mace, I know of another person who is walking with a small baseball bat. The point of the story is...it would sure be nice to be able to walk/run without having to worry about the "nice little puppy" which happens to be a 3 foot high German Shepherd, in our face. Please be curteous and keep your dog on your property...no matter how "nice" they are.
