Dawn's "Dog People" reminded me of one of my "did that just happen?" stories. Mine also involved a dog.
It was August 1998, about 2 or 3 weeks before my wedding. My wife & her friends have been going up to Lake George at least once a year for a long time & this was the first time I went with them. This was also my first trip ever to Lake George. What an introduction.
We spent a few days there & were about to head home. We checked out of our hotel, hitting "Grandmas" for breakfast (that place is the best!) then going straight home. After an enjoyable breakfast one of our friends needed to go back to the hotel.... I don't even remember why. For reasons I also don't remember, we all decided to go back to the hotel. We had our own car so I have no idea why we all had to go.
Anyway, we were driving down the strip in Lake George where there is nothing but hotels for what seems like 1000 miles. All of a sudden traffic going both ways comes to a complete stop. What is all the commotion? Turns out there is a little tiny dog out in the middle of the road. The dog is freaked, barking & running all over the place. So we all pull over... here we come to save the day!! I'm out in the street, I had both legs then so I am ready for action, when the dog runs right to me. I grab him. He bites me. He hardly scratched me but I scream like a baby & let go of the little bastard. Some hero I am. The dog takes off, right past my wife, who grabs him. He bites her & her best friend who was trying to help until I grabbed the dog once again.
