    I'd like to be able to walk...

    OK, I'm going to sign off now. Some of my posts are still awaiting moderation, I'm not sure why. Many thanks to those who have taken the trouble to reply, having taken me seriously as a person. I find it difficult to talk about, and write about, what happened in the summer. Actually, I didn't...

    Thanks for your reply. My problem with telling dog owners I'm afraid is, that they seem to invariably respond by telling me how friendly their dog it. "She's so friendly, she'll lick you to death" is an exact quote from one owner who refused to put his dog on the lead so I could go past. It...

    The stick is just a stick I picked up. I don't 'brandish it', nor do I go out looking for trouble. Anyone seeing me would think I was going to throw the stick for a dog, only after a while they wonder where my dog is. It seems to work like a talisman - just keeps trouble away. Only thing is, it...

    I'd like to be able to walk...

    That is a really great idea! I'd never heard of it. In fact, I don't see why I can't wear one. Apart from, it won't do much good if the dog is off the lead and has run far enough ahead that the owner can't see it. And I don't really want to put people off from talking to me, as I quite like...

    Well I have to admit I feel rather overwhelmed, and unsure how to respond. Everyone who feels they have an opinion as to what happened or didn't happen to me in the summer, all these people weren't there. You didn't feel what I felt. Whatever happened, it's affecting me now. I really have...

    I'd like to be able to walk...

    The dog didn't hump me. It pressed it's muzzle into my pubic bone, and pressed, HARD. It was incredibly strong. I understand dogs want to sniff. I don't like it, but I understand. But this was harder and longer, more insistent than should be expected of any stranger to accept. No one, man, woman...

    I'd like to be able to walk...

    I love to walk in nature, away from traffic. I am lucky enough to live in a place close to several large wooded areas, and I try to walk outside every day. I don't have a dog, but obviously lots of dog-walkers and dogs walk the same routes as me. In the summer I was sexually assaulted by a dog...
