Tonight, about 20 minutes ago, the dogs all went nuts. Barking, growling, hackles up. Its not uncommon for them to bark, but to act so out right aggressively is strange.

They wouldn't stop, and they ALWAYS stop when told to hush.

I went outside and heard the neighbor's dogs were going crazy, too. So I got a flashlight and trekked off through the trees in that direction. I figured it was a cow, there were a few on the road earlier today.

At the point where our property line meets the neighbors, there was a large group of dogs picking on another dog. The moment I appeared, the dog who was getting beat up ran to me and hid behind my legs. Immediately the other dogs shut up and wandered off like it was no big deal. STRANGE.

I didn't have a leash, although at this point you'd think I would have one wrapped around my neck at all times. So, I took my belt off and looped it around the dogs neck, even though he had a collar on.

He was really good, stayed right with me. I only got a quick impression of him in the beam of the flashlight, but I think he's a rottweiler puppy, or a small adult rott/mix.

He's in my outdoor kennel right now, and he isn't happy. He was like glue to my leg, then I stuck him in there and he's been yelling his head off ever since.

I might try to get some pictures, because I wont be sleeping tonight anyway. He's a real sweet dog.

This all started at a low point, when I was really feeling bad about tomorrow morning. I think God sent me a distraction.
