It would be interesting to see, if a dog was running towards you to attack you and/or your dog, if throwing a steak towards them would cause em to stop and eat the steak instead!

Bet your dog's life on it, I dare ya. And post the video.
Kristin, I'm not sure that even Sadie would accept food from a stranger when she's in high drive.
^-- I'm thinking not, but the steak under your arm would probably keep your own dogs attention pretty firmly planted - not that you have that issue.
I'm still firmly on the "have backup" side of things, I have never really considered oc for personal protection, if I thought I was going to need it (for humans) I would get a taser instead.
Slightly off topic but not really. I am very paranoid about loose dogs and dog fights.
I have found that large cemeteries are often the best places to go. They are dog friendly, often fenced, and very often deserted. In the South there are plenty of historic large cemeteries so when planning the odd road trip with the canines I google historic cemeteries, it assures a completely serene, usually completely fenced several acre private park for canine rest stops (plus you can drive around inside them and find the best spot with no surprises).
Some of the nicer Victorian cemeteries around here seem to be mostly visited by POLITE dog folks that all keep their canines leashed.
I'd be pretty irritated if I found somebody letting their dog poop on a family members grave even if they picked it up afterwards. I know some have nice little park areas in them but the idea of a cemetery as an okay place for a dog rest stop disturbs me. I know others don't have the same beliefs.
It's worth noting that a GOOD bamboo stick is light, easy to handle, stings like crazy, and can still pack a blunt force punch. I carry my gun but I wouldn't like to shoot a dog for the owners failure to keep it contained if a few threats or smacks can dissuade it.
