Last evening around 6PM I was attacked by a dog in the Ellwood beach bluffs area.
It was very scary. I had to use my bike as a shield. The worst thing is that the owners didn't do a thing to stop their dog until I commented that I didn't think fending off their attacking dog was a fun as they obviously did (they were smiling). I don't know what's scarier, the owners' attitude or the dog trying to bite me. I did not get bitten. But only because I could keep the dog away with my bike and keep him/her from getting around it.
This is not the first time I've been assaulted by a dog in the Ellwood bluffs area. It usually happens while running and the dog loses interest when I stop. This was the worst attack though, the dog was very persistent with no intervention from the owners.
