Today was the first day I had to use my pepper spray on an unleashed dog. 🔥

In S03E001 of the My Favorite Bitch podcast, I recount my recent experience with an aggressive dog in my neighborhood and why I finally used my 'chemical incapacitant."

Whether walking alone or with my dogs, over the years I have had many encounters with unleashed dogs in public places. 

I occasionally unhook the pink pepper spray from my Mary Poppings Dog Walking Carpet Bag...usually when I am in an area where dogs are known to have come at us in an unfriendly manner.

Just in case.

Just in case the dog racing in my direction is not averted by my confrontational stance, my loud commands, or (rarely) their owner successfully calling them back.

↳ Sometimes they charge out of their yards into the street. 

↳ Sometimes they are unleashed at a park but not fully trained in recall.

↳ Sometimes they just come out of nowhere.

Today Moxie and I had an encounter with a known street charger. For the first time in over two decades, I actually sprayed the device.

Details are in the podcast.
