Someone else was attacked at 4:00 today. The news channels are running the
story
because Bridgeton police were called and fired a shot but the dogs got away.
Zeke we are sorry to hear this news and wish you a speedy recovery.

That's horrible. I'm really sorry to hear that. Please keep us updated.
In related news, I think that this story was just on channel 11 news.

Thank you Tom and Mike. I will look for it. The 15 foot range would have been
enough since that’s about 12 feet more than I needed.

Don't know if you'll find it locally, but look for bear spray. It's still only
got about a 15 foot range, but it's potent stuff. If you order online, there
may be some shipment restrictions. I know you can't fly with it. It's also
going to be considerably more expensive (and larger) than the pocket/purse
pepper spray cans.
