Any stray dogs there?
Fortunately, no! I don't know, what was done about them, but in the last years there little to none stray dogs in Moscow. Even in the desolate, abandoned places.
The only unpleasant encounter i had with stray dogs was about a year ago. Me and my friends was on foot, when we stumbled upon a little settlement of bums in the ravine. There was some nasty pack of stray dogs.
And, of course, there some amount of "semi-stray" dogs, no collar, no documents, no official owners, but they live on some private property and being fed from the hands of night guards. They rarely attack outside said territories, so i just ignore them.

that hogweed has a beautiful flower but the seeds stink terribly. i discovered its really toxic so eradicated it from my garden.
Kill it with fire!

It's not only toxic (phototoxic to be exact), but hogweed is a very aggressive and strong weed. If you have cold temperatures where you live - hogweed can spawn its seeds everywhere around, prepare them through winter and seize some considerable territory for next spring. Then it's very hard to get rid of.
Hogweed become a local natural disaster in a Moscow region for a last decades, spreading like fire on the abandoned farm fields.
All above being said about
mantegazzianum and
sosnowskyi hogweed, and i don't know if yours is another species (maybe it's not that harmful at all).
