While the MUSLIMS were digging up our rose bushes, a black doberman pincher dog was seen wandering around MY long stretch of road. It looked directly into my eyes and happily trotted up into my direction. I was at the front door when I saw it and it was still en route halfway from the road. Several cars had to swerve to avoiding hitting it. It got distracted and went back to “Terry’s” house.
I saw that is was trying to cross the street again but kept shooing it away — this time from behind the chain link fence — because I didn’t want it to get hit by an oncoming black SUV, which, thank goodness, slowed to a stop and barely honked its honk to the dog away from in front of it.
I watched it for a couple of minutes more. I was sniffing around the Filipino’s house located near the yellow fire hydrant. And then a van full of Asians were at a stop sign. It went upon the passenger side window and pawed to see if anyone was friendly enough. But the driver shooed it away.
I then ran back into the house and grabbed the phone book and quickly dialed a number. A guy answered and I wanted to know if I reached the correct number, which he read off to me as 408-794-7297 for the animal control of San Jose, CA. From the time I made the first erroneous call, I peeped out the front door to see no black dog. It had disappeared.
