Hi this is Hope.

This is Kagan.

This is Katie from Washington, D.C. and you're left to no-he

radio. So Matt, I've got a little bit of a conundrum.

Okay, let's hear it.

And you know, you being a dog owner, I feel like you might be able to have some

inside here so twice in the last week I have been scared to my life because of

dogs yeah I guess I should start by saying that I'm not really dog owner my life because of dogs. Yeah.

I guess I should start by saying that I'm not really a dog person.

I didn't grow up with dogs.

I'm allergic to dogs and I've never been all that comfortable around dogs.

Okay.

And so in general they give me a little bit more fear than most people I think.

But the first time was on the trail and then yesterday in someone's on the street right in front of my house really I've been running by and a dog

just comes chasing after me barking really loud growling you know and starts like

nipping at my shoes and it scares the

the jeepers out of you.

So my question is this should I

yell at the dog owner for not having him on a leash

should I just let it go because nothing has happened or should I like just

take off running because I want to be you know that kind of good person who lets dogs run free and

have fun and enjoy themselves and don't want to be the strict non-dog owner
