I was walking along a canal area taking pictures of wildlife and such. I was shooting away from the fenced houses taking a pic of a bird and this guy EXPLODED behind me. Scared the HOLY HECK out of me but I was not going to leave without getting in a shot. Then I scrammed!

Had the SAME experience walking along our local canal this week. Didn't have the calmness to photograph him.Probably he just wanted to be cuddled, right? He's a beautiful pit bull. #9828291
