How do you react to a dog attack?

What to do if you see a dog walking near you?
If you see a dog that is walking near you or is engaged in an activity nearby, don’t walk up on it. It’s best to quietly walk in the opposite direction. Surprising a dog can make even the gentlest dog act out aggressively because it’s afraid. Ask the dog’s owner before you approach.

How do you get a dog to stop running away?
Spray water on the dog. Carry a spray bottle or a water bottle that has a nozzle. If you are approached by an aggressive dog, spraying it with water can get it to run off. Avoid running away. If you run, the dog will instinctively try to catch you.
