I live alone with my son and had a drunk break into my house (on a farm, miles from civilization) at 2 am when my son was about 2 years old. I will be forever grateful to my formerly abused, rescued Great Dane, Lola, who woke me up and saved us from God knows what. She had been horribly abused before I got her and

GOOD DOG!!

About 15 years ago a man broke into my childhood home and attacked my mother. As soon as he grabbed her, my super sweet lab mix (who normally never even barked, let alone growled) went crazy on this guy and sunk her teeth through his leg. My mom called the police and he limped off - taking my dog with him. When the

yeah, that's it exactly, or like, read it in a book and just think "really, what WOULD happen if someone actually did that?" but then once the curiosity is gone so is the drive.

I'm a 6 ft 220 lbs guy and I was terrified the night someone was trying to break down my front door. I was alone with my bat in my hand, shaking, and talking with the 911 operator. I was brave at first when I was shouting for the guy to go away or I'd kick his ass, then realized BOTH my roommates were gone for

Yeah, of course. (Ask about my daughter's rape in her tiny college an hour away.) But in my town (less than 2ooo people) you're more likely to see "Cows out in road" in our local Sheriff's report in the newspaper than anything else. (Which, granted, can also be bad shit if you hit one...)

WHO'S A GOOD DOG??

The night my otherwise obscenely-affectionate-to-everyone dog went borderline Kujo (low growl, ears back, gaze locked) on a large drunk dude stumbling towards us down the street was secretly one of my prouder moments. While I know it's not foolproof, it would seem that the dude 'gets it' in terms of threatening

I genuinely read the whole thing thinking it was going to end up being sleep paralysis or a hypnagogic hallucination. Pretty scary that it wasn't.

Holy shit, I have chills racing up and down my entire body right now. I wish deeply and fervently that this was a start to some "catfished Halloween series" on Jez, because it is fucking terrifying.

You're amazing. That's a great attitude to have and it's great that you took this horribly shitty situation and used it as a source of empowerment for yourself and for other women. Thank you for being so supportive and for taking the time to work on yourself so you could come out a survivor (in a holistic sense).

OH MY GOD, I did not realize just how tiny this puppy was until a hand came on screen for a moment. TINY BABY, LET ME LOVE YOUUUUU!!!

Thank you for sharing your story, but I can't say I didn't just cringe and throw up a little.

oh god, knowing her that is entirely possible. she was the least obedient, people-oriented dog ever, though she was always AMAZING!!! with children, very patient and kind and surprisingly gentle. (not to me. i was someone to be dominated and she succeeded tremendously) so trying to raise cthulhu seems believable.

Myd og would do this with bits of food. Like, pat her paws at the ground around it, toss her head back and do this weird seizure dance, and bark softly at it.

She was a 110lb rottweiler and her food bits were about the size of a cheerio. It was possibly the most bizzare and hilarious think I've ever watched in my

Yeah, way inappropriate. If she worked at my company and was found out I would be having a serious discussion regarding professional behaviour with her.

Stand in front of a mirror.

I mean, I guess I can see someone doing something like that once, just to sorta see what happens or something. I never would, I would be super weirded out just by the idea, but I know some folks just like trying shit just because. More than once is just not ok. Don't do that to other people, even if they don't know.

I loved when she used her paw to push that guy's hand away (at 20 seconds in). "MY pumpkin, damn you!"
