You just gave me a flashback.I had a German Shepherd come after me once when it managed to knock his gate open. Giant thing. As it was barking and growling at me and moving closer, I was backing away, pretty scared. I ended up yelling "sit!", and the damn thing sat, still barking and growling. Got to my pc just as the owner came to see what the commotion was. She was scared for me, asked if I was ok. Told her I was fine, just needed a new pair of underpants.
First time delivery to this home and was in the days where every pkg had to be signed for on paper.
A really, really bad ass 100lb dog started to attack me.
I jumped into my pkg car slammed the door shut and started blowing my horn.
The owner came out and and said something to the dog and it went in to a slow, arthritic painful walk away.
He apologized, then he told me the secret and made me promise not to ever tell anyone.
He signed a fistful of SDN's. (old school pre- DIAD)
This was 30 years ago, so I can break that promise now.
The dog was a special breed trained to be used by police, or the military.
50% Rottweiler, and 50% German Shepard.
All you had to say was, "I am going to kill you".
Next delivery, he started the attack and I said those words.
Actually I felt bad, because that dog had a hard time walking away from me.
I could not have made him walk that way with a baseball bat.
I tried to make friends with him by offering treats, but he would not come closer that 30ft.
Just an old man talking about the "ole" days.
