2 days in a row I've been chased by a pair of dogs that were 'just being freindly'. As soon as I knew they were chasing me I stopped but they continued to bark at me and today one nipped my leg, no blood was drawn.

Despite the owner telling them to come back they weren't interested. She kept apologising and saying 'they should be on a lead' (too bloody right). Maybe I'm being a bit OTT but in the eyes of the law these dogs are out of control and despite what may be a friendly nature, they make me feel like they are out of control and may do me harm.

If this happens again should I -

1) call the police
2) advise that if it happens again I will call the police
3) shrug it off as one of those dangers runners have to live with - no harm done but it could be a child's face next time.

I know I could avoid the area at times concerned, but thats not my perogative, its up to the dog walker to keep their animals under control.
