"It will depend on how big the dog is as to whether we can get away."

I owned a big shepherd for many years, Sum, and every time the leash came out, his excitement would be quite animated and vocal. I sort of get the same feeling here. We don't know the size of this one, but are getting some hints from the shadows flashing by our windows and the noises. So far the walking has been sort of uphill, but once we top that next rise, the downhill slope is going to take all we have to hold onto that leash.

Best regards
