Nothing that a can of bear spray or 9 iron won't fix.

He comes out silently and then starts barking when he gets right up behind a cyclist. I called Alachua County Animal Services and they have been most helpful. An officer was sent out to find the dog and issue a warning. She called from the area while searching for the dog and while we were on the phone the dog came out after her, so there was a clear and unambiguous identification of the problem. She left a warning and the next day another officer visited to make contact with the owner. They assured him that they would pen the dog until they made the necessary repair to the fence in front of the property. This morning at 7:00, three of us were passing by there on our morning route (HighBee, QMR ride) and that's right, you guessed it, here comes the same dog. He nearly got the front rider. I called Animal Services and then at their request sent a notarized statement regarding the incident so that they could issue a citation which is supposed to have been done today. I don't know if and when the problem will be resolved so be aware of the possibility of this dog running out after you if you ride this road.
