When I was 20 - I went star watching for my astronomy class at the spot I always went - but after recording my observations, I did a little exploring (in the dark, yeah, pretty stupid) and ended up coming down off of a hill onto private property, at about 2 in the morning.



Suddenly I was surrounded by at least six rottweilers which made a perfect circle around me. Then a light came on in a house I didn't even know was there, and a woman came out on a balkany and asked me what the hell I was doing. I told her. Then she said "next time, I won't call off the dogs" and she called them off - and they instantly left.



While on the one hand, I was more scared than I had ever been - it amazed me how well those dogs were trained. Had they not been so well trained, I just might have died that night.
