Poll: running and dogs

[Poll #1668969]

*Is it very Northern Californian that the local historic graveyard doubles as a jogging/dog-walking hot spot?

**It was a biggish labrador retriever. Coming out of the fog at speed it looked about the size of a freakin' pony, though.

For the record, my answers were, in succession #1, #3, and #5. The dog was perfectly friendly, and merely nuzzled my ankles before being called off by its apologetic owner. Still, I'm never sure what the protocol is for meeting unleashed canines.

No option for "suddenly remember every British legend about black dogs being death omens and try to remember whether there's any way to placate them"?

I was going to say, it sounds very "Hound of the Baskervilles".

I did check for ghostly phosphorescence.

My folkloric instincts are all messed up by playing Scion. Were my character to meet a giant black dog/death omen, she'd shout, "Puppy!" and try to pet it.
