I'm a cyclist so I frequently cross paths with dogs. For my own safety, I assume every dog I see is dangerous, especially in a post-COVID world where so many people got COVID dogs because they were bored.
The amount of irresponsible owners out there... I'm at a less for words. People struggle to control dogs so small they can fit in a pocket, I have zero faith they would invest the time needed to train something like a pit bull or other high-maintenance dog.
Thankfully I haven't been attacked by one yet. The last dog that jumped me on my bike was a golden lab. Unleashed in a leash-only area, of course.
