2 days ago the growler [wife] and I encountered a very large pit off the leash on a mountain trail. I was ready to do a mag dump on it but the big smile and wagging tail deterred me. I think it is kind of like people, target ID is important. I told the owners that they were lucky that their dog was still alive, they thought that it was funny and that their dog was a lover. If your dog is off the leash he is a potential target.

They say that dogs "can smell fear" and it is true. If you had been a weakling that was scared then Fido might have attacked.
He sensed that you were ready, willing and able to fight back so he decided on "peace, love, flowers, and incense."
