Default wild dogs near golf del sur

while driving home in the early hours about 01-15 on the road to the golf del sur, about mid way between the fountain and where the road divides....my car was attacked by a pack of 5 dogs. Big nasty looking things just come out of nowhere. Lucky i was not on foot!!!!!
Has anyone heard of this happening before??? Or were they just looking for me(as i am quite meaty and been told quite tasty too!!!!)

Crumbs, that is not funny, Suppose you were on foot, could have been a nasty encounter.

I also think they belong to Sir Old Golfer, he trains them by lifting his kilt to scare them to then run about in a frenzy keeping the riff raff out of Golf Del Sur.

The very same thing happened to a friend of mine about 4 weeks ago. I must ask Eugenio if he has heard anything.

They are all over the place, especially higher up in the hills. A pack of them comes regularly through our garden.

I have bought an electronic device called a Dog-Dazer, in case I come across any when I am walking. It emits an electronic 'pulse' of noise audible only to dogs (and some other animals), which is supposed to frighten them off. I am going back to the UK next week and will be bringing it back with me when I come home. I will try it out and let you know how I get on with it. If you don't hear from me, it didn't work!

Those are probably the same ones that stray near our place, I have a feeling they the abandoned hunting dogs that are just left when they grow old or simply do not return to the hunter quick enough when the day is finished, they treat them in the main, appallingly badly, if you condsider our spoilt lot lounging around, bowls of water every where, fed regularly, medicated etc.

Hmmmnnn ....

I keep threatening my pampered pooch with 24 hours in Live Arico. She was particulary naughty last week when we didnt close the cupboard door properly and she took out and ate an entire packet of chews!!!! She was then dehydrated and wouldnt eat her tea. Little sod
