DOGS and BIKES
 
Although I seem to have less trouble with dogs than what
appears to be average--has anyone tried a freon horn
for dog relief?  They come with small canisters the same
size as Halt (with the same problems of where do I mount
the holding bracket....), but they are very loud!  It seems
unlikely that many dogs would persist in a headlong attack
with such a loud noise directed at them.  Additionally, 
they might prove useful for encounters with large vehicles
(if the horn is readily accesible).    
 
If I meet a dog that doesn't respond to a loud voice command  
(much more readily accessible!) perhaps I can experiment with
a horn--
