Encounter with a Greatdane
The truth is I did have encounter with a canine species. Many years ago when I was in my early 20's. I was walking home after a party. Had no money for a cab, and the buses were done for the night. I was walking up a quiet street in the middle of the night, minding my own buisness, I think it was late summer early fall. I look up the road it's on a hill, I can see for about 200 yds. I see a shadow on my side of the street coming towards me.
I just ignore it for a short bit thinking whatever someone or somthing is walking towards me on the same side of the street. The I realize this ain't nobody but somthing running at me. So I stop and look, and it'a f&&##@ really big Greatdaine dog and he is running full tilt at me. His head is as high as my shoulders.
Now right about this time I can hear him panting as well as my own heart, and by now he is like 15yds in front of me coming in at a collision course with me. I'm thinking this F*%#!r is coming at me. He is running full tilt and he is growling like mother *&^^%$ . And one of us is going to get hurt tonight. So I figure this is it a street fight with me and a crazy greatdaine and I can't see anyone around that could be the owner.
So time slows down really slow and this guy is coming for me, so I think about what I'm going to do next. So................., what do I do, I start barking and growling like a crazy dog loud and proud, and oh my god, before I knew it, he put on the breaks, locked up it's paws, and spun around and did a 360 the other way. I was stunned, but very happy thought I was in some trouble I couldn't get out of. But my instinct said bark back at this guy, so I did and it left me alone. Not sure how this tactact would work up against a bear or another predatorial amimal, but it worked for me on that night.
You can laugh or take lesson on this one. Cheers.
