Running around Ullapool hill last week came across a man with collie about two miles from car. The dog started following me and jumping up etc. I stopped and waited for the guy to catch up, hoping he'd put the dog on lead. No chance, not a word of thanks, just a grunt. This happened five times in five minutes, me running off, the dog chasing,me stopping,him grunting. Eventually I thought sod this and just kept going. The dog followed me for two miles right back to car. As I was changing the owner rushed up to me shaking fists and shouting abuse about trying to steal his dog!
Told him to loss off
Piss off obviously!
I've been bitten twice this week! Both times by small dogs that gave no indication of their intentions until they sank their teeth into my leg! The second was just a nip, but the first bled for ages and has left a large scab. What made this one worse was it was with two runners so i assumed It'd be OK with me. Both owners were very apologetic - the first one did actually say "he's never done anything like that before" but then 10 seconds later said, "he'll go for anything"!!! So which is it??? The second was a young girl who was distraught and the dog was actually on a lead when it went for me. .
In both cases the dogs seemed fairly docile and friendly animals after and I can't understand what made them bite me. Maybe I smell like a sausage or something! I was also in a hurry to get home and couldn't see how getting cross with the owners or taking further action would help, but it did make me think that maybe all dogs should be muzzled in a public place perhaps? It does seem extreme, but as I say, these weren't dogs you'd expect to bite. Luckily I haven't got infected with anything and my tetanus is up to date, but still shouldn't happen.

There is your problem..in my experience its the little ones that are more likely to bite...admittedly you are more likely to survive it, sans tetanus or distemper.

The wife got bit on the arse by a lurcher whilst running this morning.
In all fairness to the owner she took full responsiblity, was mortified that her dog had done it and disciplined him straight away. Can't ask for more really.
At a recent race!
