Dumb dog, but really STUPID owner.
Some years ago one of the club rides had been having issue with a pack of dogs and in particular one dog being quite aggressive at a particular spot in the ride. A Group so they went pretty fast. One of the riders opted to bring some pepper spray. He was close to the front, sprayed the animal as he came alongside and misted the entire back of the pack. I cannot recall the exacts but one individual was whambulanced out, and another had a permanently droopy ear from it. We messed with him about his dog ear for years.
