A dog bit me on the Camino del Norte which, subsequently, made me nervous when I saw dogs or heard them barking. I don't use a stick for walking but I started to carry a stick, it made me feel a bit more protected. Also, a lot of the dogs in rural areas seem to respond if you bend down to pick up a stone (even an imaginary stone) and make a motion to throw the stone at the dog. They tend to run off.

yeah, seriously, we make friends with nearly every dog we meet, but a few times have had to do that. We have not had to actually throw anything yet.

Thanks all for the tips, yes i read some where about picking up a stone, and carrying a stick feeling more confident now, and the pictures were really cute and made me smile.
thanks

We would have had to carry so much extra water for laying scents down........ :mrgreen: :lol:
She's not holding a grudge............
