Gaz, i run through the woods all the time. If ever i think a dog is a threat or it fears me i stop, walk and don't make eye contact with it. This dog was with two elderly people on a pavement not even in the woods, i ran passed no problem at all, it didn't bark or growl at me, but within seconds it chased after me and i didn't know what had happened until i saw the blood. The bite is quite deep, it didn't need stitches but has had to be dressed. It's the shear shock more than anything, i just didn't see it coming. It's owners were in shock a bit too. It's very sore now.
