I heard if you quote his name three times in the mirror he appears and kicks you in the nuts....
Old dog was a Springer mix. About 40lbs. Very, very fast and very dominant dog. She was a good dog, understood a cornicopia of commands.
Solo camping on South Padre Island in probably 98, sunset, chilling with a beer waiting for one of the lines to get a bite. Dog gets worked up and takes off into the sand dune. Grabbed the 10/22 and follow. She's got 3 coyotes backed up against a sand dune, and they don't look very happy. Shot two, third got out and made tracks when the lead started flying.
Current dog would probably get eaten by the coyotes....but she is like a third kid. They play and wrestle together. Amelia will sit on top of her and tell her secrets, sing songs to her. She will instigate my boy to wrestle or play ball with her.
Back to the topic....
Sounds like something that would happen in Europe. I think inaction is a side effect of the nanny state. We're next.
