too funny
south of my home town is an indian reserve
which is an unofficial off leash area for dogs of all kinds
the scariest dog was also the biggest oldest and slowest
but he lived at the last house before the road enters the wilderness
the dogs I encountered first would chase me and bark at me
and the last dog would use their barks as an outlook reminder
that it was time to stroll out to the middle of the road to sit and wait
