Abstract
A personal protective device especially suited for repelling a dog from attacking a pedestrian. The device comprises a tubular holder and an expansible guard stored inside the holder. A spring urges the guard from the holder, into the expanded state. A control button releases the guard to deploy on demand. When deployed, the guard opens into a generally conical configuration, which the user maneuvers over the snout of the animal. The protective device discourages the animal by intimidation, and does not injure the animal. The device further includes a flashlight, key storage, an audible alarm, and a holding ring.
