Beware of dogs - They bite!

Yesterday was the day I declared war on the canine species!!
And no, I don't generally hate dogs, but after being scared out of my wits and humiliated by our small furry friend, i've decided that enough is enough.

You're probably wondering why I'm so pissed.
Let me tell you what happened then.

I was walking to Aya's place yesterday night, minding my own business, when suddenly, out of nowhere, this huge, ferocious thing appeared. At first I kept my cool. I thought " Hey, it's just a dog." But i was wrong. It wasn't just a dog. It was a dog from hell!!

I kept walking, and it kept tailing me. I got scared and it got more excited. It came after me, so i had no choice but to climb up a neighbor's gate. Lucky no one was home. Anyway, I don't really know how to tell a dog to get lost so i shuuuhh it. Yknow, like "shuuuuhhh, shuuuuhhh, go away!!" It eventually did go away. So my 'shuuuh' tactic probably worked. After waiting a good 10 minutes, I decided to make my move. [You never know when the neighbors might get home, see a complete stranger clinging for her dear life on their gate, panic and call the police.] But the moment I jump off from my high ledge of safety, the dog from hell was ready for me.

So, for the second time that night, i became a stunt woman and climbed up one of those brick-divider-thingy between two houses. This time tho, the neighbours were home. And just as fate would have it, a young couple saw me there, on someone else's property, trying to act invincible. They didn't see the dog, which unfortunately for me, made me look even more suspicious. Trying to save myself from having to explain anything to the police, i decided to swallow my pride and yelled to them, "Help me. I'm being chased by a crazy dog!!"

A look of understanding crossed their faces.
They called the dog over, cuddled it, patted it and made weird baby noises - all the usual doggy stuff. Anyway, the little monster looked like it was enjoying the attention so i thought, "Now's my chance!!" and i made a run for Aya's house, just across the street.

BAD IDEA!!
VERY bad idea.

Ehem.. Here's a rule of thumb when you're being stalked by a crazed dog - NEVER EVER TRY TO OUT RUN THEM! They'll most definitely catch up to you no matter how fast you think you are. It's simple maths - dogs have four legs and we only have two. A stark disadvantage, i should warn ya!

Funny i didn't thought of that yesterday. Cos i ran. And the dog ran. And it got me cornered. And i was screaming my lungs out and acting all hysteric. (yes ppl, this happened right in front of that cute guy and his lady friend. They must have thought I'd gone cuckoo or something).

Okay, so the ending of my story: i manage to arrive safely at Aya's place. The dog found other innocent ppl to terrorize and everyone lived happily ever after....... or NOT!

Wouldn't life be so much nicer if things were that simple??
But it'd be boring and lame, hence my declaration of WAR!!!!!
Who's with me?? Raise ur hands!!
