If I had been carrying deterrent spray I could've sprayed the aggressive dog and possibly stopped the attack - results of that be what they may.
I've called 3-1-1 but by the time they respond the dog owners are long gone. I've put requests in to 3-1-1 to have the school parks and greenspaces around my house monitored more frequently but you can probably guess how many bylaw officers I've seen at these places.
It's not just my dog, either. If I want to take my two-year-old to the school playground by my house and there are two off-leash pitbulls roaming around, you can imagine I don't feel entirely comfortable with that, either.

I could have a handgun with me and I still wouldn't let my daughter anywhere that playground if there were two off-leash pitbulls roaming around... Not sure a can of mace is going to help you with that.
