Just heard this one from my mom today. On Halloween she passed out candy and stopped around 9pm when no one had come around for an hour and she only had a couple pieces left, which she finished off. Another hour passes and her Great Dane Scout starts whining to go out. He's two years old and very well trained. He knows to stay in the yard and go no where else.
Scouts outside doing his thing when my mom hears something on the porch (the door was open but screen door closed and she was in the kitchen next to it). Mom goes to investigate. Why look here! There's a gaggle of teenage girls with bags; no costumes in sight (my personal pet peeve. I at least dressed up as a teenager when I went to get candy).
Teenage Girl 1: We want candy!
Mom: I don't have any more. I passed it out.
Scout comes from around the corner of the house after hearing the noises.
Teenage Girl 2: Oh my god! Look at the puppy! (yeah look at all 120lbs of this puppy )
Teenage Girl 1: Oh! Oh! Can we pet him?
Mom (noticing that Scout really doesn't like this gaggle of girls): No, he doesn't know you. I don't have any candy and you need to leave.
Teenage Girl 3: Awww...but we want candy!
Mom: I don't have any. I passed it out. You need to leave.
Teenage Girl 1 starts to move towards Scout, who at this time is growling and tensed to attack.
Mom: Get away from him. He doesn't know you.
Teenage Girl 1: But I want to --
Scout then jumps at her and nips her side. Teenage Girl 1 goes down and lucky for her it was only a warning from Scout to back the fuck away from Mom. Mom grabs Scout's collar and holds him back. By this time her husband is out there (he was asleep and heard the noise). He goes over to Teenage Girl 1 is okay. She's on the ground crying holding her side. Teenage Girl 2&3 are by her side. She's bruised but no skin was broken. Teenage Girl 3 tells Mom and her husband Teenage Girl 1 is fine and they leave.
Mom and her husband don't hear anything else and get Scout inside. Mom waiting up to see if they were going to call the cops or Animal Control. No one showed up...til the next day.
Ended up the gaggle went down the road to Teenage Girl 3's relative's house and they called Animal Control the next morning. Now mom has to have Scout on house arrest. She has to have him literally on a short leash anytime he leaves the house to do his thing, and then someone from Animal Control is going to come out later this week to see if Scout is a threat to the public or not.
All this because some stupid teenage girls wanted candy at 10 at night and didn't have enough brains to follow simple instructions like "leave" and "get away".
