Fending off the Wolf

I arrived back in the Bay on Tuesday. I made record time driving 430 miles in 6.5 hours. Only thing is I think I got sick from driving with the windows down. I just wanted Kobi to be comfortable so we didn't have to stop. It worked to his benefit but not to mine.

Well, today I pushed myself a little more than I probably should have. Bruce took me hiking in Crockett to Port Costa. The views were absolutely gorgeous and it didn't rain the whole time we were out. It was great until we reached the town.

As we walked down the neighborhoods, towards the water, I see this dog (more like a wolf) running towards us. There was no one around except Bruce, Kobi and myself. My first instinct was to protect Kobi, especially after the pitt bull incident. The dog was barking up a storm and would not stop. Poor Kobi's tail went straight underneath him.

The dog then started baring his teeth and started circling us. Bruce said it's because they like to attack from behind. It was a very frightening moment. Bruce told me to keep walking with Kobi. He stayed behind and was yelling at the dog to go away. At one point, he said he lunged at the dog and the dog lunged back.

After the pitt bull incident, people were telling me that the way to release a dog's jaws is to jab something up their ass. So, while i was walking, I was looking for a stick in case I needed to come to the rescue. Fortunately, it didn't have to go that far.

We came out unscathed and Bruce rescued us from the throes of the evil Wolf!!! As Darla said on an episode of Little Rascals, "You're my hero!"

i think it was a german shephard mix. We saw the owner, I think, after the fact. He worked at the restaurant that we ducked into to hide from Wolf!

Time to get a stun gun. Me and my buds bought a few to play with when we were in college. Trust me, those things HURT!

You can get a small one for 20 bucks:
