Letter: Ready to protect self from loose dogs
January 23, 2013 · Updated 12:55 PM
Editor,
As an avid hiker and mountain biker I have been accosted too many times recently at our state parks by aggressive dogs not on their leash.
Please be aware that I will be carrying bear spray at all times and will not hesitate to use it against aggressive dogs.
