Distressing Attack on No-Dog Beach--Staggered, Nearly Fell

Luckily Tom was right behind me (unknown to me) and helped get the vicious dog away. The woman with the dog apparently had it on a 30 foot leash which was not visible in the air (just trailing on the sand). The dog attacked me and (at almost 83) I staggered sideways and almost fell. Later I saw Frank who was still in his black cast from an attack by the owner of the vicious dog that was lunging at him (the wildest of 4 dogs).

Falling is such a danger to an old person. Dog owners do tend to be irresponsible on the beach.
