My Nose Hill Adverture
I was craving for solitude yesterday and so I grabbed my camera and went for a walk on Nose Hill. Not a great idea. A ton of people walked their dogs there and most of them were off leash.
I am absolutely terrified of dogs and I think they somehow can sense my fear from 10 miles away. There was this particular one that I encountered yesterday. He must have thought the camera I was holding in my hands was some kind of weapon or threat. He ran towards me, at which point I immediately turned away to avoid eye contacts with him and I froze hoping that he would just walk away. But no, he stood at about 2 feet away, barked and growled at me for what felt like 10 minutes before he gave up. (The dog owner pretty much did nothing about it. She just kept saying: 'Come on. Don't be silly. Let's go.')
I have decided that I will never ever get a dog.
