I have found a squirt of water or even pepper spray easier to handle than a

pump and provides a wider radius of protection but even then if you are

going down a hill at 30+mph and the dog is laying in wait behind something

[yes, some do that] you have little time to react let alone grab a weapon.

The one I hit weighed 110lbs and bent my forks so that the front wheel

overlapped the frame.

That dog may as well have been a tree stump.

Darn near scraped my face off. I'm much better now.

BUT am I the only one who swings his pump at a dogs

head with great "Pollo Pony finess" I've only had to

replace my pump once so far. On account of good contact.
