Dogs Chasing Cars!

[Michael Alexander]

I saw this today for the first time in a very long time. It all came flooding back to me..... there was a dog chasing it's owners car through town this afternoon, not just 100 m , but all the way down the avenues.....

then I remembered how in my youth in oranjemund, that there were quite a few people who had dogs that chased the owners cars through town..... I don't think you get this happening much in the city these days......

There was also, always that one schoolkid who always had his dog follow him to OPS and then had to spend the morning carrying the dog home


Just a two cent memory.....

dogs chasing cars ..  always gives me the heebies ... My patches used to have a game ,, wait for me  at the bottom of the road  and  follow car all the way home till one day  she got  too close to the front wheel ,, she got clipped  and sent  flying ,  no damage excepting  the  black tyre mark along her flank ...  needless to say she stopped ... now heres advice  for  anyone finding themselves  randomly chased by a dog .. ( my dad tought me this  one ) it requires patience but if a dog decides to chase   you  bicycle ,   or car ,, you stop and engage the animal  scold  whaterever ,,,   when they realise the moving object contains a human  being   they generally  back off ,, if  it happens  again one  persists ,, found it works ,, but yes patience ,, nothing worse than   finding onself running an  animal over ...

Talking about dogs chasing motor vehicles!! we regularly use the main highways and I think the motorists have the same mentality as the dogs!!..... they all seem to be up the back end or chasing the car in front................. the police call it tailgating and demerit points and fines apply............
