Dog Attack

I don't know what Mexican law is, but up here they frown on someone carrying a weapon. It's a bit goofy, a concealed firearm is mostly OK, but a knife or club is viewed differently. A baseball bat might be considered a weapon, a walking stick is not. I bought a piece of some kind of exotic hardwood that is super heavy and hard as hell and turned it down to about 1-1/4". Maybe not the same heft as a bat, but it's seriously substantial and at 4' long it provides lots of leverage. Just a thought. Or if a bat is OK in your world, get an aluminum one that is honeycomb filled! Wild dogs, and people who encourage aggressive dogs (and the aggressive dog itself) sometimes need to learn things the hard way.
