This just came to mind...my parents live at the end of a mile long, one lane road with a grove of walnut trees on both sides for another mile. They have had only one neighbor on this road inbetween them and the main road for the last 30 years. About 6 months ago a piece of property was sold just off the main road, and a new house was built at the beginning of their road.
For 20 years I have always let my dogs out of my vehicle at the beginning of their road to run down the lane as I drive slowly along with them. Just a few weeks ago I let my dog out to run and the new resident was in her yard with a little white dog. This dog came running and squealing at my dog with her following and screaming. I stopped the truck, and told Buck to sit, so she could catch her dog. Her little dog went around and around the truck with her in tow, while buck didnt move a muscle. Finally she caught her dog by the tail and yanked it out from under my truck, turned around at me and said some foul words and marched back to her house. This whole time buck still hadnt moved and was looking as though he'd done something wrong...my heart just broke when I looked at him and saw the look on his face.
