Good heavens! Is dog attack so common where you live that you actually have to go around armed against it?!?!?
BTW, the only hallucination I've had in my life was of a pack of wild dogs. I was about 15 and standing outside my family's home. I looked up the hill to the back and saw a pack of dogs running over the top of the hill and straight down toward me. I turned and rushed into the back door of the house and slammed it shut. I looked through the window, and ... nary a dog in sight.

I agree. For some reason this calls to mind spiritual_emergency's post comparing psychosis to a tornado. It rips through your life and tears everything apart, but afterward you can reassess which parts of your life and yourself you wish to keep and which to let go of.
