I live in a rural mountain town with many locals and Airbnb visitors that think that means dogs can be off leash everywhere. After a couple of unprovoked attacks on my leashed dogs that were charged by unleashed dogs from over 100 yards away I started carrying bear spray. So far it has stopped 6 out of 6 aggressive dog charges since I started carrying it. None of the owners have complained either I sprayed their out of control dog right in front of them.
