    I’ve seen a pitbull attack and kill another dog. I’ve had plenty of encounters with dogs and never seen anything even remotely as vicious.

      I worry walking small dogs (or even big ones), knowing that there are some pitbulls in my neighbourhood.

        We have Coyotes in our neighbourhood, that are not really afraid of approaching humans anymore. They stalked us on our walk before. Amazon sells a Coyote repellent spray for dog walkers. Might be of use to repell an aggressive approach from a dog too.
