[Highland Park] dog attack...almost

I was just taking a nice "winter wonderland" walk, when a dog came after me. This occured on N. St Clair a few houses down from Hampton. The dog (looked nice and cute from distance) was in "his/her driveway" when it started barking at me as I approached down sidewalk. I moved in to street (naively thinking that it surely has an invisible fence, or would simply realize that I posed no harm). However, the dog actually ran after me in to the street. I "calmly" turned and started walking away, while dog still growled and barked behind me for a bit. I am definitely an animal lover, but please make sure your pets are controlled when they are alone outside. --
