My sister Cynthia and I would walk to school most every morning, this being high school. But this particular day she didn’t go because she had the flu and had to stay at home. So, on to school I go, which was about two miles from home.
So, as I was walking down this one block, I saw this German shepherd dog in the middle of the block. So I thought, maybe he’s a nice dog?? But as I crossed the street the dog did too.
Then I slowed my steps and I told myself, “I am not scared,” and kept on walking. The dog stopped and turned to me and started running towards me. Then I started running from him and thinking what should I do?!
I had my lunch with my school books in my hands and I thought dogs love pork chops, which was the kind of sandwich that I had for lunch, so as I was running I saw this dog gaining on me, right at my heels, so I threw my lunch onto the ground and ran and jumped onto the hood of someone’s car, screaming to the top of my voice. The dog stopped and started eating my lunch.
The person that owned the dog finally came out onto their porch and called the dog, but he was busy eating my lunch. So, I slowly got off the hood with my heart beating double beats and continued to walk to school.
