LOL! I'm serious -- I actually laughed out loud!
Let's all do whatever we need to do in order to make the dog owner's life -- or irresponsible dog owner's life (since we usually can't tell the difference until it's too late) -- easier.
Buy dog treats -- check.
Carry dog treats -- check.
Take dog sensitivity classes -- check.
Spend time around dogs, whether you want to or not -- check.
Don't look like a moving target -- check.
Don't be agressive -- check.
Don't be timid -- check.
Don't yell "NO" unless it's the right thing to do -- check.
Don't hit the dog, even it's in the middle of the trail --check.
If bitten, take your time and get all info from the dog owner -- check.
Stay calm, you can get yourself to the hospital later -- check.
Maybe bring some human treats for the owner, too -- check.
Okay, I made that last one up.
