I had 4 dog run-ins on or near the PTCT. Only one pack was not deterred by bottle squirts, drained the bottle before they dropped off.
I've only had 2 encounters with dogs with obvious good intentions
One reservation dog came up and just jogged along side me for several miles, which was pretty awesome. Then once in Vancouver I had a dog follow me home, which was a pain in the ass. At first I kept stopping every block trying to tell him to go home, but he just wouldn't. Then I figured I'd drop him on this downhill, which I did, he must've been 400' back at one point, but then the downhill ended, the next uphill began and his was right with me once again. Had to put a classified ad and a craigslist post up the next morning, and took him to the pound a couple days later. Hope the owners found him, or someone adopted him.
