it si a long story. totally my fault... i walked the dogs alone and they are so difficult to control... there is a house along our normal route with a small yapping dog. she often runs outside the gate, barks at our dogs, runs after them and so on. i was passing by... a guy opened the gate right in front of us and stepped out. dogs pulled towards him... and they saw and heard the yapper about a meter behind that dude. they pulled, i let go or else i'd be dragged like dead weight behind them...
they broke the mosquito net and one run inside the house, i grabbed the other one by the butt...
while i saw securing mommy her daughter gave the a joyful chase around the living room. i say, good that folks like the clutter because my rottie had a difficult time navigating around. i will only add that all this without barking or signs of aggression but with happy tail wagging...
in any case, after i had one tied up outside i entered the house and was just about to reach for the fool while the guy inside the house empties his gun at her... i do not blame him, in a way... but he knew my dogs and me and he knew no one was inside that room apart from my dog coz the yapper run away and all people scattered like chickens as soon as the screen went down...
in any case, no more lonely walks. possibly no more walks full stop...
