A man dropped into the clinic today with a massive army of dogs. I decided to call him "Dogman". Dogman's dogs looked rough, feral and pretty dodgy. There were also about 9 of them cruising the streets with him, taking up the whole road and blocking traffic. By the time I'd returned to the clinic from a home visit, Dogman was inside and the dogs had amassed at the door, looking desperately on as the great man himself, the dog man went inside. A couple were trying to nose the door open. As the dogs blocked the driveway, I beeped the horn a few times and drove right up to them to the point of nearly crushing a couple... but they still didn't budge. A couple even kind of glared at me looking pretty pissed that I'd question their right to block the driveway.
I had to park elsewhere.
I made it inside without letting any through the door somehow and then saw that a few of them had discovered the back door. I got that quickly shut just before they stormed the place but pretty soon, it looked like we were surrounded. A couple eventually got in through the front door. This was both hilarious and a serious community health issue.
Eventually the Dogman himself was called up to pick up his meds for the week. As he walked towards me, for some reason I felt compelled to ask him... "Are they your dogs man?".
"nah mate uhhhh, they're just uhhh, following me".
Sure Dogman, whatever you say.
We all know about the crazy cat ladies living in a house full of cats and catshit. I just had no idea there were crazy dog men too, maybe I just don't watch enough Today Tonight to find this important shit out.
If you're having trouble picturing what a crazy dog man looks like, heres one...
