I’ve lost it with animals too. They are not good memories, one in particular still haunts me.

I’ve had to intervene a number of times, both between people and dogs and between dogs and dogs, but none of those dogs were going after me. I’m not sure you appreciate how fast a dog can be, let alone an animal with absolutely no respect for humans and therefore no controls.

I’ve gone up to guard dogs that I’ve never seen before and within 5 minutes I was scratching their backs. My mother made sure I was comfortable with large dogs and knew their body language.

Coyotes, even though they weigh about half that of a decent sized Shepherd, scare me.

you’re 100% right…they’re incredibly fast and i have no desire to test them, to be honest. i knew it would run away and just wanted to see how close it would let me get.

50’ is the answer…
