We almost were murdered by serial killer mailman thankfully Dunc pup saved us.

36. We were saved from a rogue pizza at 2AM once.

My lovely chow girl was a neglect and possibly abuse case. We did a lot of training to try to make sure she never became a fear biter. (She never did.)

We got her when DH was working nights and was concerned about my being home alone. Unfortunately, once we got her, we discovered that she was terrified of her own shadow. But once she became secure enough to listen and take some direction, we taught her things to improve our relationship, as a game, and occasionally to help out. One of these was 'Do your job".

"Do your job' meant that I was answering the door. She was to do her already solid sit-stay about 8 feet behind me. The person at the door didn't need to know that at 7.5 feet, she would pee copiously and run as far as she could. As focused as she was on the person, it looked like I could snap my fingers and say "Kill". Nobody ever gave me any trouble.

So in the wee hours, DH and I were awakened by loud banging on the door. I didn't know if the house was on fire, or what, so I pounded down the stairs at top speed, hitting every light I could reach and yelling "Do your job, do your job". Autie was right behind me, sounding off like a rabid Rottweiler.

I looked out the door to see a pizza guy running full-out for his car. He frisbeed the pizza through a window into the back seat and burned rubber peeling away from our house.

Sorry, not sorry. We didn't call for a pizza and there wasn't a light on at our address. I am sorry for the guy who eventually took delivery of his pizza.
