Very early in my run I had to help catch a little dog that had escaped his owner and was chasing me. It was one smelly dog.  For most of the run, every time I itched anywhere near my face, I threw up in my mouth a little when hit with the foul odor of a dog that probably hasn't been bathed in the last two years. Towards the end of the run, I sweated most of it off, but still caught a faint whiff of that doggy perfume.

I almost threw up reading that. Yuck! How kind of you to chase such a gnarly dog.

SOOO gross! Was it a little dog? I feel that they smell the worst!

It was some sort of terrier, I think. I don't know my dog breeds very well.
