  • lol meb got attacked by a dog too?

  • At the Athens training camp just a few weeks b4 the Games Meb was jumped by a German Shepherd. (pretty sure it was a German Shepherd... I'll ask him). Anyway, Meb still hates dogs - he always runs a little faster when we pass them!

  • January 14 is coming up has he been bitten yet before the olympic trials?

  • It's really an awful feeling to be in the middle of a run, totally absorbed in what you are doing, and then have a dog come out of nowhere like it wants to kill you.

    That's the downside to running in the country or something -- if no one is around and a dangerous dog comes at you, that could be the end of your day.

  • @gts5001 Ha, Ha, Ha ! Administration... Good one !

  • @WALTKRIEG You were in the Army? Must have been admin.. joking aside fighting 2 or more of anything is a whole different ballgame. And i've been in your little scenario, and i'm still alive to tell about it. That was lucky but one vs one odds are in your favor as long as you know your enemy. Yes they have teeth and claws but their range of motion is very limited and the human body is a superior weapon.

  • @chrissaboy When I was in army, I used to run, in a desert in Cyprus, with a basebal bat. When wild dogs came to me, I had to show them my stick and they let me continue my run. Dogs know the meaning of a baseball bat. Strike !

  • @petrucci14 But, Mr Bolt would have to find a shelter who is only less than 50 m. Big dogs run really really fast.

  • @gts5001 Only able to bite ? If a 150 pounds rottweler or two pitbulls attack you in a middle of a nowhere place... you surely would be killed. They are strong and can put you down. Lie on the ground, you have no chance. Your only chance is to climb on a tree... and if nobody comes to rescue you, they would wait for their lunch...

  • @zippo7224 He is an endurance runner and not a sprinter like Usain Bolt.

  • The dog let go because you can't eat pure bone

  • @88kevinc88 he has a contract with asics so they most likely are asics.
