Entry #652

I was walking home today when I saw this huge dog sprinting full speed at me, barking. I stomped forward, hoping that it would have enough guts to not be bluffing. Unfortunately, it didn't. It ran right on past while turning its head to keep its eye on me before sheepishly trotting back to the woman that was yelling at it to come back. "Bad! Bad dog!" she scolded. I didn't want the owner to feel too much shame for having such a wussbag pet, so I laughed and said, "At least he has spirit."

Animals these days. They don't make them like they used to. The infamous Champawat Tiger devoured 436 humans before being shot way back in 1907 by Jim Corbett (a badass in his own right). Nowadays, you'd be hard pressed to find a tiger that isn't in some domestic breeding program, treacherously cuddling with its human handlers. Oh yeah, and it's luxuriously white. Traitors.
