I was housesitting for a family friend, had taken their two dogs on a nice long walk and was about 10 metres from home when the younger animal (a spectacularly stupid dog) decided that the best way to make friends with his aggressive barking next door neighbour was to shove his nose through the fence and into the snarling dog's mouth. Genius. This is a Sunday, mind you, so it was going to be hard to find a vet open that was prepared to clean up the mess and stop the bleeding. Luckily for me Greencross was just down the road and open! Dragged dumb dog quickly to the vet, while he cheerfully wagged and rubbed his bleeding nose all over the backseats of my car. He then proceeded to pee all over the floor of the vets (but, given the mop bucket behind the reception counter, I suspect it's something they're used to). The vet reassured me that he was going to be fine and I was sent home with a freshly tetanus-jabbed dog who was far more proud of himself than he really should have been. What a relief! When the home-owners came back a few weeks later, they insisted on paying me back for the vet visit. Why? Because this was not the first time the dog had done it and they felt responsible. Oh dear.
