I do have a story to share with you about our boy. One day this summer I was headed out the front door to check the mail. This is a common occurrence as it is in every household. Hunter was at the front window, ready to pounce if a stray fly came at me.  He is very good at protecting us from those juvenile delinquent insects that roam our neighborhood. To my surprise chaos erupted. I had no sooner stepped off the porch and a vicious pit bull, which I had never seen before, came tearing across the street with its teeth exposed and growls that sent chills down my spine. I ran up the porch and through the door, slamming it just as the dog ran straight into the door. Hunter went ballistic trying to get out at him.  I thought he was going to go through the window.  It was all quite unnerving. After a few minutes the dog left and I was able to get Hunter calmed down.  He spent the rest of the day guarding the window.  I think he was worried too that the mean dog would return, as was I.  But no sign of him.

      Later that evening, Hunter and I headed out the back door for our evening potty break. Everything seemed quite normal until all the hair on Hunters back stood up and before I could react he tore right past me almost knocking me to the ground.  That's when I saw him. the pitbull was back and was charging me from behind. I never even heard that dog. Hunter was on him so fast. (this was all taking place in our own yard!) The pitbull took one look at Hunter and sized him up. He must have decided he wouldn't win and tucked his tail and ran. Hunter went after him and I got up and went after Hunter. He chased that dog off our property but did not leave the property himself. He came right back to check on me. I've never been so thankful for that dog, I would hate to have known what the outcome for me could have been without my big bear Hunter there to watch out for me. And happily we were able to avoid a physical altercation between the two dogs.  We were on guard for several weeks as this pit roamed the neighborhood. I had many calls in to our local AC. It finally disappeared and I do not know what became of it. 

     Please know that we love this dog very much and he has proved that he loves us too!
