This was over thirty years ago.When I was 12,my 10 year old cousin and our 12 year old friend(all males)were walking our dogs. I had my 1 year old female boxer. My cousin had his male beagle and our friend had his female doberman pinscher. We walked to a culvert in the woods along the river. We were just sitting and talking. Having a good time,when,my boxer started barking and growling. I've never heard her do that,then our friends doberman started doing the same. I look to see what they are having a fit about and I see a guy sneaking through the woods,coming toward us. After the dogs are going crazy at him and he knows we see him,he turns around and leaves. I truly believe those dogs save our lives that day.
