Went to the home of a man who owed me some money.He saw me coming from a couple hundred feet away and launched his 140 lb Rottweiler in my direction. Knowing I had no escape, I sat on the ground and became as peaceful as I could and spoke to him quietly as he approached with the hair on his back standing up.By the time Mr Deadbeat got to the scene, Rotty was upside down across my lap and I was scratching his chest.Mr D looked down at us, “Twenty-five hundred dollars for a watchdog and THIS is what I got?”So I looked up at him and said, “Yeah, and look at what HE got.”Thinking about it later, I realized I likely could have walked away with the dog . . . debt settled.
