a few years ago i lived out in the country and a private road which ran right in front of the my house. it was nice there were vineyards, fruit trees and open fields, every morning i would get up and go for a run and i would take toby (my dog) along for the exercise the run was about two and a half miles and he seemd to enjoy it.

  somethings changed and i felt it was time to move to the city and now i would have to find a new route to run. moving to the city meant i woud have to leave toby behind besides i didn't he would do well in a back yard. so, i went each morning to find a certain place to run. i am very much into running and having a nice scenic view.

  the morning was very cool a perfect morning for a run and i was taking a different route this morning. i ran down three blocks and made my turn and a nce stretch of road lay ahead of me. as i pasted the a house in the middle of the block i heard what sounded like a screen door being slammed open against the house and i turned around to see two pitbull dogs coming and they looked hungry.

  what was i going to do? i couldn't out run them they were too fast and they would get me from behind. there wasn't any cars or anything to go get on and escape what was about to take place.

  it reminds me of the time i had jst got off work and it was dark and driving down the country road i saw something running up ahead. it was a dog and as i pulled up along side of it, it was a pitbull dog. so, i stopped and opened the door and the dog came up to the door. the head on this dog was twice the size of his body and he had no ears it looked like they had been chewed off.

  strange as it may sound there wasn't anything running through my mind when i saw those two gods coming to get me. i stood my ground and the fight was on. when people recall things like this and scounds seem like minute and minutes seem like hours, this was one of those moments.

  one gog ran past me as the other one junpmed for at that moment i stepped to the side and pulled my arm bacvk and hit it side the head and it went rolling and i did it again and again and again.i knew this wasn't hurting the dog and had to do something like kill it.

  it was at that moment i prepared for what i had to do again the dog came and i hit and was about to take control of the dog while it was on the ground, when i hear somebody scream and the dogs turned and ran to the owner.

  the owner grabbed the one trying to bite me and pinned it to the ground. i petted both dog and said. this is what they do and went back to my run. as i got back into my run i realized my heart had actually slowled down and through the whole thing i wasn't worried or scared or had any fear in me. i was calm through the whole thing.

  when i got back home it was then i realized how bad it could have been and i knew something wasn't right in my head. this i have had since the drowning. that was three years ago and today i hav learned how to create afeeling associate my attitude in place of fear.
