[RC] Dog Attack! - Bruce Weary DCI was riding on USFS land one day (where it is clearly posted that all dogs are to be leashed) and was suddenly attacked by the most vicious dog I have ever encountered. He leapt at my horse and grabbed the cantle of my saddle, my horse spun and flung him off. We took off at a dead run, and he not only caught us, but leaped and sunk his teeth into my horse's rear end and removed a chunk. This caused my horse to buck like there was no tomorrow, and I think I did a half-gainer before the earth came up and slammed the wind out of me. Then the dog came after me, and before I could get up, he was on my chest going for my throat! I blocked him with one forearm while I reached with the other hand for something to hit him with. Just then, his owner came up, and subdued the dog. I lay there with my heart pounding in my chest, dazed and glad to be alive. I slowly got up, spit the dirt out of my mouth and told the owner: "Lady, put that g*d d*mn dog back in your purse! If I see that Chihuahua loose again, I swear I'm gonna kill it! You think these cap guns are just for show?!! I'm not afraid to use them!!
