Dogs

Went riding yesterday and while I have been chased many times by dogs, I
got
chased last night by a great dane, he was as tall as I was on the bike.
Never
given this much thought in the past because a dog has never scared me
before.
What do dogs do to riders if they ever catch them?
The Great Dane that caught me jumped up and put his paws on my shoulders and
started licking my face. He was a puppy and wanted to make friends. Luckily
I had stopped the bike and gotten off.
My usual response to a dog chasing me is to get off the bike and face the
dog, holding the bike between me and the dog as a protective barrier (it
might look like a weapon to the dog) and yell at the dog to go home. It's
always worked so far...
