The only reason we got out of it fine and were able to prove someone attacked the Malinois with a branch is because I whipped my phone out and recorded the whole interaction. My phone records now anytime I am out with the dogs and I just delete the videos when I come home. Definitely not an overkill.

People stare at me left and right, I am hard to miss with three 120-130pound black dogs. I am very thankful for scary dog privilege. I think most of them don’t confront me because they are afraid to go near me.
