If you need to walk near a dog who is tied up and lunging at its restraint, be sure to carry with you some kind of security in case the dog does get loose and tries to attack you. This can involve an umbrella, which should scare a dog when opened quickly, or a container of canine pepper spray which will, if targeted at the face of an advancing vicious dog, ward off an attack. Don't ever surmise that just because a dog is tied up, you are safe at a distance. There is always the possibility of the chain, rope, cable or collar breaking and the dog escaping its confinement. Be protected and continually aware of your environment.
