Safety Issues

 I walked to Santiago twice and never had a problem with dogs, never even close.  You should take the appropriate precautions when around a shepherd, but don't get too worked up by dogs.

I think the big concern is not the Basques but the mean dogs on the
Camino. Does any one have any advice as to how to handle these %&*#a
dogs, and to how to protect your self? Being attacked once by a dog, I
like to avoid them at all cost. Don't know how SM's advice will work,
shoot a big red heart at them and hope it confuses them.. Hmmmmm, I
think I will carry a big stick.
any thoughts?
