A stranger in the garden

You stand before your sink chopping onions all the wile just beyond the back door lurks a stranger. you set the knife down and walk out onto the back porch drying your hands with a cloth. Peering out the screen door you see movement but think nothing of it. Little do you know just beyond the shrub stands a killer.

A prehistoric killer. This killer, so deadly it has been stalking its prey for over fifteen million years. Yet still deadly enough to be responsible for the deaths of more than fifteen humans a year. In fact, in 200
2 alone, more people were killed by this silent stalker than by sharks in over 100 years. I'm not talking about the African killer beeor a poisonous plant. This beast has a sense of hearing is more than ten times more acute than a human’s, and can sense frequencies of 30,000 times per second.

He smells you coming long before he sees you bec
ause its evil snout with its amazing sense of smell is more than 100,000 times stronger than that of a human’s. He can out run you, follow you, track you, and when he pounces, his rows of sharpened teeth, 42 to be exact close on you tearing flesh from bone with 150-450 pounds of pressure per square inch exerting from his jaws. Yep, you guessed it. ............................



















This beast is also known by its Latin name as Canine lupus familiaris, or your very own family dog!
