    Horror: man threw knife after me and Rex.

    Yesterday at 6am we went to our early morning walk. At the first corner, on our block, Rex gave a growl, I stoped to see what it was. There were two "drogeler" (Swiss word for drug addicts that hang on the streets) and a husky.

    We continued to walk, the huslky didn't react to Rex' growl, but one of the men, run after us, cursing, threating to cut Rex' throat and me. He took a knife of his jacket's pocket, and threw it toward us, two times. Luckly the knife fell at the street. We run in zig zag, crossing the street. The second man kept calling him back, but he didn't stop.

    I yelled him to stop that, the dog was doing nothing, etc. But he kept coming after us, till we could reach a park, where I called the police, and was told I had to go there to report.

    I was absolutelly desperate, and was afraid to come back home.

    After our walk I went to the police station and made a report and was told they are searching for a man like I discribed.
    At 7pm they called me to see some photos to identify that "drogeler" (which had Asian look). Was not him on the photo.

    If I see him, I have to call the police again; if they have any news,
    I will be informed.

    During the weekend, day and night I had to walk Rex because he had diarrhea, and nothing happened. Even yesterday morning, we walked at 4am.

    The police station is only one block down where the man attacked us!!!

    I decided to move to a smaller town or even a small village asap.

    Gotta have nerves of steel!!!

    What a scary experience.
    I would have been terrified.
    Sounds like he was mentally ill too.
    Glad you and Rex are safe.
    I hope this person is off the street
    before he hurts someone.

    OMG, how horrible! Glad nothing happened to you or Rex. I, too would move away from that area especially if those kind of things are happening just one block from the police station.

    That is sooo scary! I can't believe something like that would happen so close to a police station! Very glad you're both ok!!

    Gosh that sounds pretty bad. I can't believe someone would do something as crazy as that! I'm glad you guys are alright though.. you never know what you're going to run into. Moving may be a good idea. I just hope you don't see that man again and that you aren't too traumatized.

    Thank you all. I am still scared and when I go out I am much more alert.

    One of the reasons for so much "drogeler" here is that till last year there was a kind of "ambulatory" (from health authorities), to supply hard drugs for the addicted, free, under prescriptions (they had to inject themselves in the ambulatory). That was to cut down the drug traffic. The amburatory is now closed, but the "drogeler" are still around here.

    Still scared.

    ps: the only nice thing in this case was that the police officer said he had also a German Shepherd, and recommended a natural medicine for Rex' intestinal weakness.

    I would have been terrified! Isn't there any safe place for you to enjoy walking your dog? Like you said, if you could move, that might be best. You might not be so lucky next time and that wouldn't be good at all. Be careful! Can you take a weapon with you? Even something like a taser?

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.
