My dogs are trained to stay in their own yard. They often go out to the front yard, and I can leave them there on their own for short periods without any problem. We do it frequently for training.
Yesterday evening, I was getting ready to go out, and the dogs were going. I let them out in the yard, and had forgotten my billfold so I had to go back in the house. I was in the house a few minutes looking for it, and when I looked back out the door there were two GSD's and a Weimaraner lined up in a row in the driveway looking across the street.
There were two young guys walking down the sidewalk. Wing tip shoes, dress slacks, long sleeve white shirts and bow ties(probably 94 F out). Walking along slowly and non-challantly(a little TOO non-challantly to look natural)-eyes looking ANYWHERE except toward my driveway. Bibles clutched to their chests--you could read the body language just a clear as a newspaper, "Ohhhhhhhh, those must be the kind of beasts the Romans fed the Christians to in the Collie-seum!"
Meanwhile, Enka, Dixie and Riga are bouncing up and down on their front feet, tails wagging, spinning little circles. Also very easy to read the body language, "PLEASE, PLEASE come pet us!!! We'll howl Halleilujiah and join any religion you want if you'll just come pet us......" The two guys got past the half way point and speeded up and hurried off down the street.(they were practically running after they got a few yards past us in the other direction) Enka, Dixie and Riga watched them hurry off with a disappointed look.
I could imagine them getting back to their church and telling all their fellow evangelizers about their close brush with becoming martyrs. LOL, their greatest danger of martyrdom would have been being knocked down and licked to death.
