I was cycling home along the Canal oop North (Chester) when a load of joggers and dogs came the other direction. One blind old lab decided to run right in front of me resulting in a "It's me or the dog moment". I like dogs, emergency stopped, I went over the handle bars, over the top of the dog and the bike then bounced into the canal.
I jumped up and grabbed it by the back wheel just as it was starting to go in. The lady whose dog it was then apologised and said "I'm so sorry, that is the second time he has done that" and my reaction was "Well how about keeping it on a lead" seemed to bemuse her.
