    Dogs and treats

    I am a dog owner and a dog lover so I have no fear but reading some of these posts makes me wonder. Wild dogs can be dangerous and I am sure carrying a pole will be a deterrent. Has anyone carried dog treats with them to throw at the wild dogs? Distract them with some yummies.
