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

    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.

    If I was alone, I would take a cell phone. If something were to happen to me, I would rather that I didnt have a dog there incase he got hurt. There are people in my area that wouldnt hesitate to kill a dog if it attacked/growled at them. I think it is far too dangerous to risk my life, let alone my dogs life too.

    That being said - I would bring my husband AND my dog AND our cell phone! If my hubby was there - I wouldnt be scared of anyting. He would seriously hurt anybody that tried to hurt me or my dog. He is far more protective than any dog I have ever known.

    I used to walk alone in the dark all the time but now hardly ever. Our area has been going through a regression from suburbs to slums so now I am afraid. Autumn knows how to growl on command and will also growl at men she doesn't trust if they get too close. If I need to use a phone I couldn't see some mugger allowing you to call 911 while they stand there and wait.
