So I'm not long home from a walk tonight, still wearing my trainers and there is a couple of really loud aggressive bangs on my front door.
I am 2 meters away and open it and someone is running hard away from my house. My well trained American Staffy comes running in so I open the door.
She takes one step outside and her nose hits the ground, there is a pause as she focusses, stares down the street and her body tenses. "Get it" I say and we are off. It is pitch dark 8pm, winter.
150m away and she is way in front of me running 3/4 speed nose to the ground and turns hard right into a yard. The bushes explode as 3 guys come running out onto the road. She is snarling and barking. I get there 2 and they have not seen me so I grab the biggest and yell "Get on the ground".
All three dive on the ground. I then realize they are kids about 16 years old. I say "who was it?" and two kids point to the third. He says "it was me". My dog is still snarling so I tell her to sit and stay. Then I say "Didn't count on this did you?" He looks like he is about to cry.
Some neighbors come out to see if everything is OK and I ID myself. They all know the copper that lives in the street.
My oldest son comes running with some torches and a phone and I ring work who confirm the kids have never been in any trouble before. Details confirmed.
I help them up cause they look like they are about to be sick. They thank me for not killing them and we shake hands and I tell them it's all good, have a good night and choose something other than a knock and run for fun.
WRONG HOUSE HIT CARDIO - Best cardio I have done in a while.
