I hike every morning at this huge nature preserve a few miles from my house. I never see anyone there. Last weekend after being out for an hour, I was nearing the trail head and this big german Shepard appears on the trail and in a split second went to an all out charge on me!
I have bred & trained dogs and know their body language, and this guy was in full attack mode!
I had seconds to brace myself and as soonas he got in striking distance, I knew I had only one chance....i threw a low roundhouse kick to his head. it flipped him back and when he stood up, he bolted back the way he came.
My shin connected with his oven mouth and I got a good cut on my shin as well as a buise to the bone and my big toe.
