I box with my two retired racing greyhounds (thus our name, "Trailhoundz" :o)).  But technically, that's just one human. Sometimes I go out with my boxing bud Spudhund and her greyhound too. :o)

I am careful when I go alone and try not to get too paranoid. Last year on the WetCanvas website (an art forum) a woman posted that she was out doing a plein air painting along a quiet road.  A car pulled up behind her and the guy got out, pretended to be curious as to what she was painting. He then tried to rape her.

I trust that my big scary looking dogs will scare off any creeps, but try to be aware of my surroundings and ALWAYS carry my cell phone.

I probably should give this more thought than I do. I have hiked alone many times with nothing more than my piercing hiking whistle. I let people know where I am headed but I never really thought about the dangers of rape/assault.
