    Do not run. A person CANNOT outrun a dog, even a big, heavy slow dog like a rottweiler. If the dog is a trained personal protection or police dog, your best chance of surviving is to stand absolutly still. If you are unarmed and you try to fight you will lose.
    If the dog is not a trained attack dog, your best bet is to stay still and call for help, or back away slowly until you can get an object that will help separate you from the dog.

    • Actually, a person can outrun a dog, just not over short distances. I'm not saying you're wrong just a little incorrect. Humans have been shown to even outrun horses over great distances. We are presumed to have run down most of our prey in our cavemen days by simply exhausting them. You're right though, never run from a dog.
