history: I was on a walk with my kids, and these two dogs who are always running around loose causing trouble came running at us like they wanted to attack. I had to stomp my feet and yell to scare them off. 
current: I was out walking with the kids yesterday and these loose dogs who are always running around the neighborhood came up and ran up to attack us. I was so scared that they were going to bite one of the kids, I just stomped at them and yelled loudly and luckily they were scared off and left. 
next: That is really brave of you, thanks for doing something about it
