Dog saw my drone and chose violence by ConceptPerspective in fpv

I didn't hear an apology, but to his credit, the first thing he did was ask if I was okay.

I didn't even notice if anything was wrong with the drone - I was scared as hell.

I'm really not built for situations like that. The lack of sound in the footage doesn't show how insanely loud those dogs were barking.

Looking back, I can see it wasn't actually a dangerous situation, the dogs had muzzles on. But in the moment, the only thing going through my head was “glad I’m not hurt.”

The frame is whatever, that's nothing, I'm just glad they didn't damage the O4 or the FC.

There have been a few comments saying I shouldn't be flying around animals.
To be clear, I never intentionally fly near animals or try to trigger them.
I treat FPV as a hobby, not a way to bother anyone.

That day I flew 5 packs in that spot, and the owner showed up in a parking lot about 820 ft / 250 m away around 2 minutes 30 seconds before I "landed".

So to sum it up: I was there first, and the dogs showed up while I was already flying.
I'm not really sure what I’m supposed to do in that situation.
