I was outside trying to light a fire in the dark when boom out of nowhere barking 10-15 feet away. I shout as soon as I hear it and then look at the culprit for about two seconds. It's the neighbor's dag and I know he's harmless.
Anything similar happen to anybody else? |

I spent 14 days hiking back packing in bear country a few summers ago. The only time I actually saw a bear? My pants were below me knees and I was hunched over a hole I had just dug. 
Lesson learned. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/024/9/0/Rule_3___Beware_of_Bathrooms_by_BubiMandril.jpg Did it speed the process? |

I snuck up on the neighbor's dog once. The dog wandered into my yard and got into something near the fence. I got within 15 feet before I realized that it probably didn't know I was there, so I whistled. The dog damn near turned around inside of it's own skin and ran back to the neighbor's house. |

Sunday morning at 3:15 am it sounded like a coyote was either murdering something or being murdered under my bedroom window. I've a chicken coop 40' away from the house, I knew that the birds were secure inside, I threw on a bathrobe, my slippers and went out with an AR-15 with the scout lite on. No coyote around, no blood, no fur, no feathers. I've no idea what the hell the yote was going on about. |

Anything similar happen to anybody else? By "shout" of course you mean shrieked like a little girl.

I had a neighbor that had two german shepards.
The female would literally stalk me when I was doing yard work or in my garage. She scared the shit out of me weekly. It was game to her and she always won. She never bit or attacked. I think she just liked watching me jump and bang into shit. |

I get snuck up on every once in awhile at work, I'm embarrassed to admit.
I work in remote locations and often have to open gates to gain access, in the woods..... My situational awareness is often above average, but..... Every once in awhile I get a random bump or lick that makes me jump, to look down and see someone's Rottie or GSD saying "hi" without making a single noise. Makes me wonder at all the shot dog stories, I must admit. I guess I smell like the dog biscuits I carry just in case. 
ETA: Maybe officers should carry a bag of dog biscuits in their cruisers....hey...... |

There was a guy here a few years ago who traumatized exactly the same way. He kicked the shit out of the little dog, picked it up and body slammed it then grabbed it by the hind legs and flung it into the neighbors back yard. Anyone else remember that thread? Somebody really did that?
