Anytime, ANYTIME one makes a stand be prepared for the fight.
That most (almost all) dogs will give second thoughts doesn't mean you shouldn't expect a knock down drag out.
Turning and running from a dog isn't an option for me though.
I don't know anything but to face them.
The off dogs attack if you submit and attack if you challenge...I'll challenge....the odds are better.
But be prepared for what you have to do if your challenge is met.
I will not be posting pictures of my pasty white bruised butt...but nice try

I am all of about 5 foot 1......I felt like wasn't going to be able to win a fight against, at least not barehanded and with only uggs as shoes. He is built like a tank with a massive head.
I now have my son's new wide barrel baseball bat to take to and from the car with me...I will not hesitate to use it if need be.
So did I do the right thing by initially standing my ground and telling him no?
This has never not worked for me before, but I have also never dealt with this level of flat out macho aggression.
THIS situation is over, and you are unharmed physically by the dog, so I'd say this time was a success.:smile: If there is ever a next time, you may decide on the fly to handle THAT situation differently.
I've had one dog in my life that I felt had REALLY bad intentions. They are a different animal, for sure.
You better post that online Jennifer. The swelling may go down before animal control shows up.
I wondered who would be the first to go here... Michael W. was my first thougth, then you.
Sick puppies.
I was in such a hurry to beat Mike to it that I got mixed up and quoted Connie. I had to edit in "Jennifer" before Connie actually did it. I didnt want to cause that much trouble.
Yeah, leave it to Baaarrrrbbbra, to make an honest attempt to assist with this matter into something so wafghani-ish.
... snort ....
Yeah, Barbara. How could you THINK such a thing?!
Alright, alright, stop with the harrassing.
Come on Jennifer. We all want to see your pasty white butt- bruise. For medical reasons only. I swear.
For all we know you could have made up this entire scenario just to get the attention. You could have tripped over the baseball bat while shoving down copious amounts of chili chocolate or pickled eggs or something else equally as disgusting and are now just trying to cover up the entire horrific episode. We know your type.....
