We lived in town when Angus was young and there was an alley that kids always walked down. Of course they would call the dogs and torment them (kids are so mean). They even once threw a bunch of fish hooks in our yard & Angus got one in his gums and one in his tongue that we couldn't get out, so we had to rush him to the vets. Of course we put our house up for sale the next week! Now we live in the country and there are no kids to bother them
