Thankfully, any actual violent encounters I've had with dogs have been in recurring dreams, where I'm trying to pat a small yappy dog but it keeps trying to bite my hand so I end up punching it in the face. Hmmm... In real life they tend to ignore me, or at the worst I've had a few dogs bouncing up and down in excitement, or the odd little thing yapping but nothing close to threatening. I try to do non-track speedy sessions where dog numbers are likely to be low. Greenwich Park, Dulwich park, etc. are way less hazardous early in the morning.
...Actually, my dog dreams have been fairly friendly lately. The last violent act was punching a spider that jumped up at me. I should probably lay off the cheese.
