GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (September 16, 2026)–This past April, Sweetie, my three-year-old English Labrador Retriever, and I added an evening walk to our daily routine. Including our morning walk, we average between three and four miles each day. With the waning days of summer upon us, those walks will soon be limited by winter weather until spring returns.
Because we walk so much, encountering an aggressive dog every now and then is not unusual.
Last night, for example, a hostile mixed-breed dog charged at us on Stites Avenue near Powell Street. The dog appeared to be part pit bull: short and stocky, with a wide head and muscular build.
Sweetie and I were walking west on Powell Street toward Broadway when we heard a dog barking. As we approached the corner, we found a large broken tree branch blocking the sidewalk. To continue our walk, we had to step into the street.
