A pack of any kind of canines can be daunting.
When I'm out walking, with or without my dog, I'm never without one of my snubbies, oftentimes a Colt Cobra instead of my M649 so I have six rounds.
I love canines so much I really never want to have to shoot one.
So, that's neighborhood walking. Should I ever find myself in the boonies again then some form of 686+ will be with me.
Hunting is a whole nuthuh smoke, of course, because then a rifle is with me.
There's always knives.....when I walk without my dog I carry a sword cane. It's useful for balance.....etc.
