surprised shepherd...
i used to work at a shop that was located in a parade of shops, the 60s type with flats above. the shop next door was a chinese takeaway, and they used the flat as a stockroom and kept this German Shepherd locked in it 24/7 - poor blighter, even tho i hate alsatians.
anyway, one afernoon i was bounding up the stairs, into the flat above (which was my office), when the lad from the takeaway opened the door to their stockroom, and the dog slipped out past her, part-crazed after being locked up all the time. so, half way up a flight of concrete stairs, there i was face to face with an alsatian who, presumably after years of licking MSG, thought it was cerberus.... and flung itself at me and started biting whatever it could, the air, flies, and eventually my right leg. Bastard thing got thru my leather jeans and well into flesh - so the only thing i could do was punch it really hard between the eyes. This had the desired effect of making it let go, but it still wanted a piece of me, so came back for more. Now, old Ma2shoes didnt raise any idiots, what she did give birth to was a son who weas a prosthetic left leg from the knee down - which as the dog came back at me, jaws a-slavering for another chew, i shifted my position so aluminium leg was nearest to Jaws Of Death. Bingo - dumbass dog fastened onto my bit of NHS ironwork with a resounding clang, and started to gnaw away with a slightly surprised air, i like to recall - suprise turning to pain when i realised that the position i was in meant i could deal i the biggest kick to the bollocks I (or any other right thinking person) could imagine - enough to lift a full grown german shepherd a good couple of feet off the ground.
That seemed to get his attention, and back off, and at this moment the chinese lady came and grabbed it - and offered me money to keep quiet. I was at this point quite furious, so i told her to keep her money, just make sure the f**king dog was kept a bit more pleasantly... then she offered me free chinese food whenever i wanted it, for me and my mates that i worked with.
I always checked the dog was still alive before i eat there though...
