Humper, the Dog

While I wait, let me tell you of a curious incident of a dog in the night.

When we first shifted in, there was this stray dog roaming the neighbourhood. We tried to be friendly to him but he ended up jumping on KS leg and humping it. He wasn't very happy when we tried to push him away. Anyways, we decided to christen him Humper.

A couple of weeks ago, one of those nights when KS was working late and returned home past midnight, he spotted Humper and made a stop to pat him. After getting out of the car, he squatted near Humper and waved to him to step nearer. Humper slowly neared him without wagging his tail. After a minute of patting him, KS tried to stand up but the dog immediately put both his paws on his lap, with his fangs dangerously close to his face.

KS started to panic. He got up slowly anyway and the dog did what he was known for. Humped his leg. When KS tried to step away, the dog growled. THEN, KS knew he was in deep trouble.

Inching towards the passenger side of his car, he opened the door, intending to jump in and shut the door on the dog. However, the intelligence of Humper cannot be underestimated. He immediately jumped into the car before KS could!

After much persuasion, the dog was tricked into stepping out of the car so KS made a lunge for it. He managed to sit but as he was trying to pull the car door close, the dog again put both his paws on his lap, this time with his mouth on his thigh. A single snap would have warranted us a childless couple forever.

Frantically, KS thought of calling me to save him but decided Humper would attack me too. So, carefully, he pushed Humper's nose until he was able to pull the door shut just as he made a snap.

Safely inside the car, he looked out and saw the dog circling the car as a hungry shark would of a leaking raft. In the end, he clambered over to the driver's seat and drove away.

He swears he will never ever touch Humper again. As for me, two dog bites (one was from his dog, nonetheless) is enough for me. I'll stick to cats, thanks.
