For context...we live on a high street in a rural town. We're at the "quiet end" so no shops here but a pub next door.
We have a drive leading from the high street to our garden...it's pretty long but you can clearly see our big gates which separate our back garden from the driveway....our dog sleeps in the garden by the gate.
He's a distinctive dog....a big one. People sometimes stop by the end of the drive and stare at him which makes him bark.
They then stand there STILL staring!
I went out earlier today to see why he was having a hissy fit and there was a man of about 60 standing there staring.
So I said "Are you ok?" and he said "I'M ok!" as though the dog was being unreasonable!
The dog hadn't barked for long...just a few but Loud and he'd been fast asleep moments before so I know it was another dog tourist.
This man then wanted to know WHY the dog was bloody barking!
He doesn't bark if people don't stand and stare at him!
Wtf? It happens at least twice a week...the other week there was a whole family standing there looking at him whilst he barked his nuts off.
Have people no sense?
He's a big, white dog...good looking and all that yes...but he's not THAT remarkable!
