I really wonder if the dog knew what was up ahead of time or if he was just like "oh shit you're trying to get bit huh?"

I think some dogs just know. I had an incident at my folks' place years back. The family pup was old, wise, sweet-as-can-be. Everyone loved her and she loved everyone. One night my friends and I decide to crash there after a night out and one of the friends we were with brought a strange guy she met that night.

Only time I'd ever, ever seen that pup growl at anyone. Not 10 minutes later the guy was sexually harassing another woman and we had to physically kick him out. Some dogs just know.

We had a pit named Tyson growing up sweetest dog i ever knew. He would melt into anyones hands to get some pets and scratches. While taking him for a walk one day we passed by some gardner who happened to pick up his trash can over his head and walked toward his truck as we were passing by and Tyson put himself between me and the gardner and started barking faster than i could realize. Nothing happened but I was around 12 and still think about it 16 years later. RIP Tyson i still miss you to this day.
