And the answer has to be relate to an incident which happen a few weeks ago.
-----
2 weeks ago, I was scheduled to do guard duty in my camp, during the Saturday. Prior to my shift, we were being told that there was A wild dog running around the camp.
We were supposed to carry a baton, which was said to chase away that particular dog. However, during my midnight shift, I (and my buddy) was not given it.
And guess what?
We met the particular dog, or rather THREE dogs!
If you are thinking like what my friends did...
Those dogs are NOT chihuahua!
Or rather, those three dogs are similar to
Solid Black German Shepherd
Upon seeing us, the 3 dogs charged at us, barking furiously!
Having a phobia for dogs (I was bitten twice), my first thought was to run. But thinking twice, I was holding a
SAR 21 rifle
Portable Lamp
Walkie Talkie
Checkpoint scanner
How in the world am I going to outrun three charging dogs?
Fortunately, my buddy who was with me, told me to stand still, be calm, and raise up my rifle.
Perhaps being too surprised and scared, I raised my rifle and aimed my rifle at those dogs. And the funniest thing was that...
My rifle was NOT loaded with any bullets.
What my buddy meant was...
Raise up the rifle to HEADBUTT the dogs with the rifle, in case they pounced at us.
Luckily for us, those dogs, upon seeing us standing still, stopped charging and barking at us.
However the distance between us and the dogs was so near that I can literally see their sharp teeth.
Nevertheless, the whole experience was scary, but yet interesting.

And so, when I went home the next morning after my duty, I told DAWNald duck about this incident.
But instead of comforting me, she asked me
"Do you know why you are being chased by the three dogs?"
To which I replied
"Perhaps it was because I stepped into their territory?
