Commute to work

This is the house I walk by everyday. They have many animals living in the field. There are two dogs, five cows, four calves, many chickens, three pigs and some baby chicks that are cute. One day I was walking home and I saw a girl come out of the house with a grocery bag and all of a sudden every animal came running from near and far. A chicken crossed my path running full speed ahead toward the girl. She dumped a pile of slops out and the animals had a feast.
So I've taken to carrying a rock and stick on my walk from my house to school. Why would anyone do such a crazy thing? Attack dogs--that is what prompted my new props. Above is the picture of the house that sits on the field we walk through. They have two of the meanest dogs and they get so angry when we come through. One day one of them had it's mouth around my foot and I kicked it off before it bit. The children at the house generally come running and dive for the dogs to stop them from biting. If I carry a stick and a rock it makes me feel more secure but I don't actually think the dogs are that intimidated.
