This discussion seems to be revolving around dogs and bicycles (excuse
me but I just started reading this Newsgroup).

A group of friends and I did alot of biking last summer and we found that
dogs are keenly aware of the emotional state of the rider.  One of
the guys (we had girls too) in our group was absolutely terrified of
dogs.  The dogs it appeared knew this.  No matter where we put him in
the pack (front middle back), the local dogs would ALWAYS make a dead  
run right at him.  This Even happened when he was trailing us by
50 yds or so.  This one dog just watched us go by, but when Kevin came
up, the dog came out.

I always tend to just smile ad say hello to dogs (even if the're chasing
me).  I've never been bitten or been close to being bitten and I don't
expect to be (maybe I should always ride with Kevin :-) ).
