Walking my dog is truly an arduous task. My mother-in-law taught her that dogs walk humans when she was a puppy. I hate to admit that I don't have time to go through training her how to walk on a leash, so I don't "walk" her very often. Luckily for her, has a back yard that she uses as her own race track.

When I do walk my dog, she barks at every human being she sees, and she's deathly afraid of other dogs. She acts like if she thinks that they're aliens of some sort. For those of you that do walk your dog without any problems, your dog is the last thing you should have to be concerned about.

A man in Tampa was walking his puppy about 8 p.m., and 6 guys came up to him demanding his puppy! The man refused, so they started beating him with some sticks! The police ended up catching two of the men. An 18 and a 19 year old. They're in jail for robbery with a deadly weapon. Now, can you imagine walking your dog and someone attacking you to rob you, or trying to take your beloved doggie from you? You can't even trust the mere task of walking your dog nowadays. If you don't have some sort of protection on you, you're just asking for trouble.

In the situation I just described with six men, pepper spray is absolutely the best thing to have on you when there's more than one person as there are several bursts within the pepper spray unit, so you can keep pressing it to spray towards all of them allowing you time to get away! A 1/2 ounce pepper spray with the leatherette holster has a locking actuator and quick key release key chain. It is effective up to eight ft., and it has five one second bursts. This is something you should have with you at all times no matter what. If it's other dogs you might be worried about, you might also want to have either a Super Dog Chaser, Mace Pepper Spray Dog Repeller, or an 80,000 Volt Alarm Stun Baton Flashlight are all great choices.

Make sure you are armed, do not depend on your furry friend to save you. He would expect you to save him in return!

Yours In safety,
