I live across the street from a park and take my dog on regular walks around it. A lot of the time I feel pretty safe when I have my dog with me, he’s a rottweiler and very protective of me.
One day I decided that we would go on a walk around the entire park which means walking down to the end of my street to the closest main road and continuing on the main road until the other side of the park. It was summer and very hot so I decided to wear shorts. When we turned onto the main road a car drove passed but very slow. I didn’t pay much attention until I saw them stop and turn around and drive passed me again very slowly.
I was pretty freaked out and started walking faster. They did this yet again but this time drove in the bike lane right next to the sidewalk, they rolled down their windows and three guys all stuck their heads out and stared at me, whistled, starting calling for me saying, “Hey turn around come back over here.”
I was scared. I started running, this had never happened on a walk with my dog before. I didn’t even bring my phone with me that day so I had no one to call, no one else was around. I was worried they would follow me back to my house. Luckily we ran fast and got home as quickly as we could.
