I would have been terrified! Isn't there any safe place for you to enjoy walking your dog? Like you said, if you could move, that might be best. You might not be so lucky next time and that wouldn't be good at all. Be careful! Can you take a weapon with you? Even something like a taser?

I agree with what Valerie said here. Do you think that you and Rex could walk somewhere besides that place? Is there another park that you can walk to? Can you walk to the park a different way?

I hope that they find out who it is, he cannot be out like that. Someone could get hurt. I am glad that you and Rex are okay, and I hope you never have to see that guy ever again.

Wow that is awful! Glad you guys are ok and I hope you never see the man again except after the police have him.

It happened exactly at the first corner on the block where I live!
The park is one block away only! He run after us along the block between the corner and the park! 6am, daylight.

The park itself is at the Kantons Police headquarters! Believe me! And the Municipal Police is at the side of that Park. The police station is just around the block where it happened.

In general, the police presence here is massive. I live here for the last two years, and never happened anything of any kind of violence to me. Indeed, till now I felt safer here then when I lived in a smaller town only 18min with the train, in which i had been harrassed many times at late night trains, when i used to come to the city for concerts, opera, cinema, etc. Anyway, never a case to police.

I liked when I moved to the city because i can go walking everywhere, but now, is enough.

Thank you all for the support.

Rosana
and
Rex

Do things like that happen often in your town? (Not just to you, like to others as well)

How scary. I'd move!

We live in Zurich downtown. It is possible that to happen to anyone, I was unfortunate.
I am Brazilian, but live here in Switzerland for about ten years, and it is the first time that this kind of thing had happened in my whole life!

It is common to happen that the junkies under drug influence do atrocities to people, animals and their belongings. Since they have the excuse to be "under drugs and are not aware of their acts" nothing happen to them. They are considered ill, unable to work and to be integrated in the society.
