My heart was pounding , I was completely out of breath , my head was buzzing . It took nearly half of the walk around the circle for me to calm down . Granted , this is the first time we encountered an off - leash dog on our walk . But I ' m sure it will probably happen again , and what if the other dog bounds right the hell onto Blake and he spazzes ?

Question: What may be the reason they have never run into a stray dog before ?
Answer: They live in a bad neighborhood .They usually bring treats just in case and being prepared has been enough to keep them away .They wear a perfume that repels dogs .They recently got a new dog .
