Yeah, I got surrounded by a pack of 7 or 8 big dogs around dawn on the Golden Horn once. Was frantically swinging my backpack and screaming at them as they approached. After 30 seconds or so, a man noticed and threw some food to distract them so I could get away. They probably were just hoping I would feed them but it was still fucking terrifying. Felt like it activated some sort of primal fight-or-flight instinct passed down through millennia of humans being cornered by wolves.
- ulucs 6y agoDealing with stray dogs isn't that difficult. They don't mess with you if they think you are more aggressive than them. Also keeping the dogs in a neighbourhood well-fed is quite easy and cheap. That will rule out any aggressiveness.
- fakedang 6y agoI learnt this back when studying in my home country. As long as you bark back at them at a much louder voice, dogs will never attack you. But if you ever run away from them, they will chase behind you. Learnt it the hard way when I interrupted a fornication session between three strays.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y agoGod staredowns with dogs is always terrifying. Especially when I gotta go somewhere. Now I'm in a position where if I continue to leave, the dog thinks I'm a pussy and chases me. But I can't stand there all day playing chicken!
- fakedang 6y agoTrust me, bark back at them in a voice louder than theirs and they will run away. Dogs are pack animals, so I think they fall for whoever is the more dominant one.
- herodoturtle 6y agoThat is an epic experience that I'm sure you'll never forget! Love the way you wrote it too - especially the last sentence :)
