I was just finishing some work on our community well yesterday evening when I heard theruckus of a couple of dogs obviously trying to get at each other through the fence in our alley.
I stepped out from behing the storage tank to see what was going on and apparently one of my neighboors dogs had learned how to jump the fence and was running back and forth trying to get at the dog across the alley. The dog in the alley is a large yellow mixed breed.
As soon as I stepped into view, the dog in the alley turned his attention to me. His hackles were up and he was barking and then growing with it's teeth bared.
I had a good size adjustable wrench in my left hand, and my right hand went to my 9mm as I yelled "GET OUT OF HERE" as loud as I could, all the while standing my ground.
The dog took a couple of steps toward me and I simultaneously threw the wrench and drew my weapon in case the wrench didn't have the desired affect.
Luckily for the dog, it didn't like the glancing blow off his ribs, so he took off and jumped the fence back into his yard.
I have never liked this particular neighbor's dogs, as they always try to get at me as I go by in the alley, and now that I know one of them has learned to jump the fence I will need to be extra wary.
I have never liked this particular neighbor either as I took over for him in running the well when we found out he was embezzling from the repair funds, but I would still not like to have to kill one of his dogs unless absolutely necessary.
Just another reason I like being able to open carry loaded in unincorporated Kern County, and another reason why I ALWAYS carry in my own neighboorhood.
