In The Medal Detecting Forum there is a post about an urban hunter being attacked by a dog and its owner.
Various suggestions about what he could have and should have done make this an interesting read. It was suggested that wasp spray should work well on human attackers and I think wasp spray should work well on dogs too! Does anyone have any insight into this?
An acquaintance of mine is on permanent disability from a "playful" dog running up and impacting the man's chest.
He used to be very athletic and agile as a tree climbing arborist (Tree Doctor).
In his mid thirties, he had spent many years working at this physically demanding job until he one day was talking to a client about how her trees should be cared for.
He heard her dog running toward them and turned to face it just as the big, heavy beast collided with him, knocking him down.
The impact caused irreparable damage to his spine.
Today he is back on his feet, but barely able to get around and on permanent disability.
Conclusion? Even a playful dog can be a hazard!
