a number of years ago I was nearly attacked by a pack of feral dogs in the outskirts of rawalpindi, pakistan.
it was about 5:30 am before most of the city was awake and I was taking myself and luggage out to the nearest main road to get a taxi to catch an early flight.
it turns out that the tactic for scaring off a mountain lion also works with them, if you raise your arms over your head as high as you can reach while simultaneously screaming "YARRRGGGH!!!!!!" as loud as humanly possible, you can chase away a whole pack.
still was quite a sketchy situation.
- entropie 4y agoCan you describe the attack?
- walrus01 4y agoa group of about eight to ten of the typical small to medium size south asian feral dogs came out of the grass and bushes by the side of the road, and began approaching me all together at a medium pace, in a group with what I interpreted as aggressive body language (having owned a number of different breeds of domestic north american dogs for many years since childhood). I had been pulling a wheeled piece of luggage which possibly set them off because its noise was quite unusual at that time and place.

- fractallyte 4y agoI was confronted by a pack of dogs on the outskirts of Varna, Bulgaria. It was just me, no one else around. The dogs certainly were aware of it. Remembering that opening an umbrella tends to severely freak out dogs, I walked past them, then turned around and took off my jacket with a big flourish. They panicked and ran away, then just barked at me from a distance. Haha
