I was afraid someone would say that. I've tried giving the dog a few
treats; she'll take them if I drop them over the fence and walk away. I
think she's very much afraid of me, really. Maybe that approach would
work, if I would pursue it. It's hard to be patient when a big dog is
threatening to eat you alive from three feet away!
