So there I am walking the dogs along the pavement past a large house with very high walls. when out shoots a taxi from the drive at about 20 miles an hour attempting to join the A6 without stopping at the end of the drive to check if the pavement he is about to cross is clear.

He caught the leading German Shepard as she was about 2 ft in front of me. A glancing blow with his front wing no damage to her but enough to frighten her.

As he made no attempt to stop I kicked his door. He tries to get angry and get out, but two GSDs snarling. (They have a thing about non white faces) convince him that he is doing nothing towards me.

He has just driven off shouting that he is calling the police. I can't wait

My God!! I'm glad you kicked his taxi, I hope you did it some serious damage! Did you get his reg? I'd sue the b*gger for compo for your bruised foot!

Antigua is full of racist dogs. When i lived out there, the dogs would go crazy if a black person approached the house or walked passed in the street but never to a white person.
(sorry if the term Black is not PC, i dont know what is these days)

Good for you!! I would have done the same. Lupo and I have nearly been run over before, we were waiting outside the chinese take away and the guy that does the deliveries parked his car on the pavement, if i hadn't have moved out the way seconds before i would have a flat dog. He was laying on his back getting belly rubs at the time.

I've heard that Rhodesian Ridgebacks were bred for just that.
It's definitely true; a man in a pub said so.

It was a Rhodesian Ridgeback that we had in Antigua - although he was more laid back than the other types of dogs, they were serious racists

Temper,temper------Frustrating as it maybe perhaps it would have been better to have a few harsh words,take his number and report the incident to the police as "dog" is one of the seven animals in road traffic law which if involved in an accident have to be reported by the driver.
Easy to say but I would probably kicked his head not his car[Hope your dogs OK Tim]

What's the difference between an ass and a mule and why don't aardvarks get on that list?

A mule is a cross between a donkey and a horse ... and an ass is a subclass of donkeys (which are of a different equine family to the horse).

Or ... not everyone has a mule, but everyone has an ass ;-)

In that case, it's such a shame that some men and women aren't from different species (although some would argue with that statement ;-) LOL) as it would prevent some of the less desirables from pro-creating ;)
