Franky Franky Franky... What is with this guy? Maybe next time he'll keep the gun away and just insult the dog's mother.
Was the collie over 40 lbs? Does that count as a 40lber?
Oh yeah, one more thing. About a year ago or so, I was on my way down to Caldors. If you don't have them up there, Caldor is a department store that had a fishing section. They recently went out of business. Anyways, they had brand name stuff so it was cool to go down there and grab a lure or so.
Anyways, I was walking down the back roads and I passed two pitbulls rooting through the owner's trash. No problems. I went down to the store, made my purchases, and started on the uphill trip back. My head passed the top of the hill where it levels out and I see the two pits running down at me. I have been confronted by humans but I have never been so scared. You can reason with humans, but with dogs, well they are on instinct. These dogs were smart. One kept a look out for cars while the other one was snapping and snarling.
I immediately assumed a submissive position. I dropped my shoulders down, lowered my height and got my hands into a defensive position. I prepared for the worse. The only weapon I had was my keys. I put my finger through my carabiner and wrapped my keys up into my hand. I was ready to protect myself if necessary.
I was in the middle of an intersection backing down from the dogs. They had me pinned against a station wagon when a guy came out of a nearby house and started yelling at the dogs and they backed down.
Frank definitely has my sympathy. If I was in the position I was in and I had a gun, I would have popped one in both of them. I'm an animal lover so I'd TRY to make it non fatal but still. It's scary as heck being confronted by an animal. Dog's teeth are made for tearing. They have those instincts to know how to kill prey. He must have been scared.
