I once lived in a rough part of town, and to keep things even, I had a large rottweiler "Duke" and a chainlink fence so they could all see him. We had lots of section 8 apartments nearby, thus lots of human debri walking around. I have lots of stories, but one good story is when I went to the local convenience store and saw half of the apartment complex inside the store loitering. So..
I backed up my truck directly in front of the exit door with Duke sitting in the back. When the feral canine-aphobe urban folk inside realized they were trapped, they did everything to make sure I left without a hitch. I was allowed to go to the head of the line. One lady asked, "do he bite?". I replied, "lets hope not", to which she was not pleased. However, she was wise enough not to raise a hand to me.
Dachshunds are faster than they look, aren’t they?? Aerodynamic too.

I had a similar experience about a year ago. My dogs are an 85 lb. Pitador and a 110 lb. Great Dane. The Pitador always rides shotgun and the Dane rides in the back seat. I was going to the local Petsmart at about 7:00 p.m. in the early evening. I pulled up and noticed the car next to me was really grubby and looked like somebody had been living in it. Then I looked to my right and saw a vehicle,almost as grubby, occupied by three sleazy white or Latino males who looked like they had just gotten out of jail or were trying to figure a way to get into jail. Instead of displaying a revolver, I just rolled the front passenger side’s window down to let them see the Pitador and then rolled the back window on the right side down to let them see the DAne. Although neither dog showew any real interest, the driver, on seeing the DAne, decided prudence was the better part of valor and immediately left.
