I also walk Buddy at odd hours sometimes 4:00am sometimes later but I do have an advantage Bud's size intimidates most people he looks tough but that is about it. But I have seen this mild mannered dog totally change his posture when he sees someone that he is not comfortable with or if someone gets to close to me especially if they are approaching from behind he constantly turns to watch them. But even having 160 pound dog I still always carry my phone with me and I do that key thing too, something my mom taught me and has always stuck with me and I don't go anywhere without my mag light. I try and be very aware of what is going on around me especially at the hours when there are few others out. And yes your dog senses your tensness right down his leash and probably puts him on alert because as we know our babies are very intune with us. But I find most people are much more wary of people with dogs, well what would you expect from about cowards.
