So the other day...

I was having a picnic with my kids at a neighborhood park. Out of nowhere, I hear a small dog ferociously barking, so I turn around to look. There is a guy walking on the sidewalk with an orange vest on and the small dog is nipping/biting his pant leg. The guy is just standing there, looking around, not sure what to do. I call across to the man to see if he needs help. This grabs the attention of the dog and it comes running across the street to me. I grab Dd and put myself in front of Ds, but the dog was super friendly to me and didn't bark or nip at me. The guy walking down the street calls out "thanks for the distraction!" And goes along on his merry way, leaving me with 2 small kids, a stroller, a big wheel, a picnic, and some random dog. Ha! I said "seriously dude?! Knock on that door and let them know their dog is outside!" He was just going to leave me there to figure it out by myself. Dude! No real point to my story, but I can laugh about it now.

Maybe he thought the dog was yours?

I don't think so... I was across the street and obviously reacted in a protective manner when the dog came running at us. Maybe though, he seemed pretty clueless!

Maybe you prevented the dog from alarming people that the mind was casing their house?

Who knows?

I agree with this, this story made me seriously wonder if that guy was trouble.

You guys. You're scaring me! There have been mass break ins in my neighborhood during the day while people are at work. This happened about 2 weeks ago, I just learned about the break ins a couple days ago. I wonder if that's why the dog went ape shit on the guy, but was gentle with me... Freaky
