Who would you trust more on a walk alone in the dark

[lizbud]

I've never gone for a walk alone in the dark and probably never will, but if I ever did I'd only have the choice of a dog, seeing as I don't own a cell. If I did have a cell though, I wouldn't choose between the two. I'd take both it and a dog.

Same here. Whenever I walk Smokey people seem to want to avoid him.
I guess he looks intimidating.He walks with tail up & curled over his back.
If they only knew what a wuss he really is.

I wouldn't go for a walk in the dark, but I voted dog and that'd be Lacey.

Dog over a cell phone.But i would bring my cell phone just incase. I would bring both of mine too

Well, IF I ever went on a walk alone in the dark...I would definately take a dog (Shadow!! )

edit: I just realized the question which you'd trust not, not take...I would definately trust the dog because they can hear or pick up on things waaay before I'd be able to. Also I know that if I'm in trouble Shadow (Jack too, probably) would do their best to protect me. And in that case (if I had a cell phone) I would take both

edit again: okay..there are two different questions...I am not losing my mind!!!

I walk down my road alone in the dark, few street lights but I live in a fairly rural area. Always have at least one dog with me. Maggie probably can't do much but she is going to probably hear something before I do. Guess I choose dog since I have yet to take the cell with me.

Dog, definately. Ethan and Frisk especially, because they are both very protective of me. Skylar isn't protective of anything... when he's outside and sees a stranger or hears a strange voice, he trys to run toward it with his tail wagging!
And if I had to choose between taking Ethan or Frisk, I'd take Ethan. I know Ethan will take action because he once bit a friend of my sister's (my sister's friend wasn't upset, he understood that he made the wrong movement and that it Ethan wasn't attacking him for no reason).

Well, I don't own a cell phone (gasp!). In the summer, I take night walks every night, usually with Tasha, sometimes with both Tommy and Tasha. I've always done this, when I was younger I took midsummer night walks with my collies too . They are some of the most peaceful times for me.

I think in this hypothesis, a dog definitely serves as a deterrent for anyone up to no good, however if you were just walking with a cell phone, unless it was in your hand with your finger on the auto-dial, I don't see how you could for sure get a call off if someone were to grab you.

I would rather have my dog becausehe barks at anyone who comes past my house and when we go for a walk he loves and protects me. I love my Shadow box ANd he loves me He will protect me in anything or from anyone he almost bit my cousin because we were play fighting in front of him. he is my little sweetheart and I love him.

I go walking at night around the neighborhood quite often. Never take my cell, but always have either Oz or Gull or Both. I feel very safe actually. I had a guy walk up behind me the other night and Gull went into some ear shattering barking. The guy took off running to get away from us. I think Gull scared the bejabbers out of him.

Oz will bark in similar situations too. He uses a lil' more sense about it then Gull, but I've no doubt if anybody started threatening us, he'd be doing some ear shattering barking too.

I actually think they're better to have then an actual protection dog that would be more quiet, but more apt to bite. Doubtful my two would bite, but with the noise they can make, nobody's getting close enough to us, to harm us, without the whole neighborhood knowing about it.

I'd rather have my dogs, they might not be very big, but my buffy sure can bite! She is VERY VERY protective.
