I hate dogs

Ok...so maybe I don't hate dogs, but I do hate dogs that chase me while I run! Today was my first encounter with dogs during my morning run. It was early and still pretty dark, but I saw two very large dogs in a field, next to a school and I knew I was in trouble when they started barking. I took off my headphones and started to yell, "GO HOME!" "GET OUT OF HERE!" It worked! A man across the street opened his door and they went toward the house. THEN, one stopped and actually came back at me. I just had to stop and yell again. I'm not even sure what kind of dog it was, but it was big and it looked like a pit bull! It finally went away and on with my run I went. It took me a few minutes to get myself back together, but I finished and my heart rate was plenty high! So, for today, I hate dogs!
