Dogs hate mailmen and missionaries.
Fact or Fiction?
You decide.
OK, so my foot wasn't actually in the shoe while the dog was chewing on it. Still, it was a HUGE dog. It looked like a pony; a big, black, shaggy pony with the head of a bear. (New Foundling maybe?) I also used to think that Beethoven-type dog slobber was a movie stunt, but this dog proved that wrong, too. Gross.
So, what is your best dog story from the mission?

Dogs DO hate missionaries! Only one dog ever actually made contact with my flesh, and he was sedated! My favorite dog story is when Sister Price and I went to contact a referral. It was in a small dark trailer in Payson. We knocked on the door, and as a it opened this HUGE shepherd mix came FLYING out, barking, with teeth showing. In one swift ninja move, Sister Price grabbed me and THREW ME in front of the dog while she ran! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!! Luckily it turned out alright. Sister Price is terrified of dogs. I wish I could say that I was her ONLY victim... but alas, she threw Sister Spurlock (a member in her 60's) in front of ANOTHER dog!! Watch out for those Kiwi's.... good heavens!
Oh goodness. One of the best is when we were in East Mesa heading in to visit a family when all three of their HUGE dogs come running over each other to meet us. The youngest, a large, tawny pitbull charged towards me with his mouth aimed straight for my left hand. I could see myself with a hook already. But he clamped his jaws around my WATCH. Then he ripped it off my arm and ran away to go munch on his timely snack.
huh... no wonder you hated wearing watches... sorry I made you wear them! Wait... no... The watch saved your life! You should be THANKING me!
I don't that all dogs, hate missionaries. I know some dogs can be very annoying to missionary's. While Elder Brown and I were up on the Greasewood Reservation, we had plenty of contact with dogs up there. But I'll admit that those dogs know to stay out of the way of any human up there.
