(pretty much the same spot as all the smashed glass was last week). They always dive at my wheels and then chase me when I come past. (thankfully their small legs really make my getaway cycling pretty easy).</p> <p>I've encountered them about five times now, and they caused my partner to crash her bike trying to dodge them when we first saw them. Thankfully it only ended with a small graze and a bent pedal... </p> <p>I called 101 tonight, but apparently they won't send anyone out unless you have eyes on the dogs at the point of calling, and they had gone when I headed back from my house after the call.</p> <p>I think they come over from the N Cairntow bit just behind there as there's never any owners with them, and I could hear high pitched barking coming from that direction when I went back. </p> <p>So if anyone else gets chased, it'd be great if they also called 101 and hopefully it gets sorted before someone else crashes and does more damage. </p>
