Ok, so, could it have been a wild or ferrel dog? Dogs will give chase if you run.
This is a fact.
Never
ever under any circumstances run away from something that is chasing you.
That applies with all animals. Especially canines.
They are given the impression that you are testing their abilities, or they think you are trying to play with them.
Considering wild or feral animals don't know how to play with humans kindly, you will most likely die from the injuries.
Yes, people
have outran wild animals. But people have also tripped, fell, or the animal caught up to them, and they are either permanently disfigured, scarred, or are now deceased.
It's a 50/50 chance of survival. Don't test nature's abilities to kick your back end.
