I had to escape a dog attack like that once lol! We would all skateboard at this outdoor hockey rink that was surrounded by around 8 foot tall fences. I was the first one there and just messing around getting warmed up and saw two dogs roaming around. This was on the outskirts of a residential area and on the other side was woods and a train track. I didn't think they were going to come towards me at all as they seemed to just be sniffing around, roaming, and appear to be moving past. They both end up making a sharp turn and come into the rink. I didn't really do anything and just stood there thinking they'd move on. I knew skating, running, or approaching was a bad idea as they appeared to be rough stray dogs. Next thing I know, one is on one side of me and one is on the other and they just start barking at me and snarling. I was holding my skateboard, but I didn't really know what to do. I ended up sort of throwing/pushing my skateboard one way which distracted them long enough for me to book it towards the fence. I climbed up it so fast and just straddled it at the top. They stayed down there barking like crazy for a while and then just took off. I ended up calling the police as they started heading towards the residential area. These were big dogs that would definitely fuck a kid up, but still, straddling the top of the fence was probably my biggest beta moment lol
