i was rescued today by a stranger. 
on good days i try to walk a few miles around my "country block" which is about 3.5 miles. and while this is a rural neighborhood we still have rules about "dogs at large". but most people don't heed them much and today i was more or less cornered by a younger dog (and i am extremely terrified of dogs small or large.)
luckily some guy noticed my dilemma, stopped and asked if i needed assistance and without thinking about what i was doing, i jumped in his car...two seconds after i closed the door..i was questioning my hasty decision.
luckily, he turned out to be a good guy, a new neighbor, in fact and although i thanked him for getting me several hundred feet away from the offending canine, i wish i'd had more prescense of mind to thank him properly.
because as i noticed after getting out of his car, i was very close to being a little shocky, and more afraid of the dog than i'd realized.
so, chivalry ain't dead, there are people that practice random acts of kindness/generosity/concern. and i guess i have to buy pepper spray if i want to continue to walk around my block....
