Aren't dogs fun? Back in my more serious riding days, late 1980s on DF, we got chased all the time on routes north of Houston. I got bit in the calf once when I had slowed to turn around to look at a car for sale and didn't realize there was a dog there until it was too late. After I got home I jumped in my old pickup and drove back out there, thinking if that dog comes out to chase my truck, it's dead! Fortunately for the dog it stayed in the yard. A yellow lab once charged out his yard chasing a pack of us as we were going really fast down a curving hill. Didn't see the pickup coming from the other direction that went right over him. Apparently the dog wasn't hurt seriously, but from that point on when we went past there he would just raise his head a little and go "Woof!" Guess he learned his lesson. Most dogs you can outrun if you see them soon enough. Good sprinting practice!
