4 Scary Stories Where Dogs Saved the Day

I live in Dorset Vermont's it's a very secluded mountainous place there's lots of trails on the mountain that I like to walk or jog down commonly in fact I'm able to cut through the woods in my yard to get to a trail that I walk and run down all the time one day after getting home from work I changed out of my work clothes and into my running clothes by 6:45 I was ready to get on the trail on this particular day I took along my coonhounds Murphy you did five minutes of walking then we started with a slow jog Murphy is always a joy to walk because she doesn't pull she always just stays calm at my side the trail is wide enough for her to always stay by my side maintaining my speed I was always looking up when I ran which is why I didn't notice that Murphy stopped in her tracks until I felt the leash pull her neck at which point I stopped and looked back at her to see what was wrong she was looking behind us and her ears did that little bouncing thing that hound dog's ears do when they hear something I mean we were in the middle of the forest so there was any number of things she could have heard anything from a deer to a squirrel to another person on the trail it tried to pull her forward to continue our run but she seemed persistent and reluctant to move forward I played along for a few moments to let her see that she was curious over nothing but it wasn't nothing because I finally saw what she was looking at there was a man back down the trail in the direction we came from he was clearly not hiding the fact that he was looking at Murphy and I I waved at him to try and be friendly and then looked down at Murphy as I pulled her and told her to come she finally budged and started running by my side again not without looking back twice at the man it's happened before though people on these small trails would commonly wait for me to move ahead so they could avoid passing the dog usually they'd be out earlier in the day though at this point it was on the darker side and usually there wouldn't be other people out I also did notice if the man waved back or not because I looked down at Murphy after waving but at that moment I still thought everything was normal that is until maybe a minute later when Murphy stopped me again this time she looked ahead of us and started barking I saw who she was looking at right away this time it was another man walking slowly towards us I leave to him too but he didn't wave back I was standing still holding Murphy closed expecting the man to eventually pass me but the closer he got the slower he went when he got with an hearing range I told him that Murphy's friendly and that he could pass now here's what I knew something was up after I said this the man maintained eye contact with me keeping his straight face as he very slowly continued approaching us then I noticed Murphy turn around and start barking in the other direction behind us turned and almost had a heart attack when I saw that man from earlier maybe five feet away from us slowly approaching as well I knew now something bad was about to go down there were only a few seconds between that moment and the moment I felt two arms reach around me from behind then the first man I saw earlier started fallen charging me Murphy's barks turned to aggressive growling and rabid dog like barks then one of the men screamed as apparently Murphy bit him in the leg and wouldn't let go this forced the man to release his grip on me giving me a chance to tackle the other man to the grounds it took a little force to get Murphy to release her grip from the man's leg but when she did we ran back down the trail the man who I tackled didn't try fighting back after his friend got bitten I think he realized they were outmatched at that point but I was still not sticking around to find out what their intentions were we got back to the house in five minutes only because we sprinted back I checked Murphy to make sure she wasn't hurt or wounded at all by the man she did she was fine I couldn't be more grateful for her she's still alive and well she's nine years old I still see it as a blessing in disguise that one of the few times I decided to take Murphy along with me was the same night I ran into those two men in the forest [Music] [Music] my pitbull Cali sleeps in my room with me I have a loft bedroom meaning it's a higher level in the house than the rest of the rooms my room also has a very large closet elevated off the grounds I keep a little stepping stool to get into it it's mainly just a bunch of childhood toys stored in there though one night I woke up to growling I sat up and saw Kali standing in the middle of the room she was looking up at the closet needless to say as a 14 year old that scared the [ __ ] out of me to even imagine what she could have been growling at I called her up to my bed so I could pet her and calm her down she licked her lips and stops growling now looking at me I turned to give another look at the closet door in the dark she stopped growling now though so I figured it was just her doggie imagination running wild I went back to sleep pretty easily now with Kali in the bed with me I woke up again God knows how many hours later now - Callie's barking she was in the center of the room again looking up at the closet I told her to shut up and after she looked at me in silence I heard a jar of Legos spill inside the closet [Music] Kelly started going crazy now barkeep trying to jump up the stepladder clawing at the wall I heard my bedroom door open and my dad came up the stairs screaming what the hell is going on I told them to check the closet there's someone in there he ran past Kelly up the stepladder and pulled the door open the second he opened that door someone dressed in jeans a black pullover hoodie and black beanie pushed my dad off the stepstool causing him to fall on his back the man in the black hoodie then took off leaving my room down the stairs however Kelly took off after him I heard the two of them rushing down the stairs but it sounded like Kelly caught him because the man let out a scream of pain my dad and I went down to the living room to see Kelly with her teeth sunk into the man's arm blood was spilled all over the carpet apparently Kelly bit the man in the lake and the arm my dad got Kelly off of him and told me to take her back to my room while he called the cops the man was moaning in pain up until the cops calmly entered the house looked down at the man and they picked him up together they brought him outside where an ambulance arrived ten minutes later he was taken away in the ambulance the next few days my dad spent talking to lawyers and whatnot in order to sue the man for breaking and entering he ended up winning the case obviously he never told me how much money he got but he sure did make it known just how much Kelly saved the day for our family the first dog I ever got was back in 1992 when I was ten years old my parents finally agreed to let me get my German Shepherd my lifelong favorite dog only thing they made me walk him twice a day as the one condition to owning him once in the afternoon and once at night his name was Calvin this happened on a snowy December night I begged my dad to let me just let Calvin in the yard but he insisted I walk him he always did and walking him twice a day quickly became a huge chore I threw on my snow boots sweatshirt and then a jacket over that and finally my snow hat I was ready for the cold snowstorm we set out into the neighborhood streets Calvin pulling ahead as usual there were no cars on the road at all on this night there was simply way too much snow we walked down the edge of the neighborhood by the woods I remember wanting to see if the roads have been plowed anywhere yet we came to an intersection between two very quiet roads by the woods at the edge of the neighborhood that's when I ran into him I heard the sound of footsteps crushing the snow behind me Calvin turned first and barked a couple times it was a man bundled up in snow gear he had a scarf covering half his face so all I could really see where his eyes but I could still tell he was on the older side 40 plus his voice was muffled through a scarf as he called to me in a friendly voice then he did something unexpected he picked up some snow patted it into a snowball and seemingly playfully threw it at me I dodged it now not know reacts he came closer and started to pet Calvin I was pretty uncomfortable to be honest the man stood back up after petting Calvin then put his shoulder on me said I shouldn't be alone out here on a night like this I think I remember telling him I wasn't I was with my dog there were some more words exchanged I don't remember what but I do remember eventually walking away from that man without saying bye even though I didn't look back Calvin kept looking back and I slightly heard footsteps in the snow behind me again so I knew he was following me I figured he was following me home which is why I was caught off guard when I heard the footsteps behind us increasing the speed and intensity causing Calvin to turn and start barking the man grabbed me with one arm and covered my mouth with his other arm I think Calvin started biting act but he was wearing so many layers that he was able to ignore the pain and only for so long the man finally let go of his grip on me I named his attention at Calvin by kicking at him over and over eventually the man gave up and took off for the woods Calvin pulled so hard after him his leash snapped off the collar and off Calvin dashed disappearing into the woods I heard his barks fade away into the darkness as I screamed his name over and over I returned home crying telling my parents that Calvin was chasing after some man and that he was gone I stayed up all night hoping he would return home he never did Calvin was my first dog and losing him was my first real heartbreak I like to think he was found and brought to a shelter somewhere because I wholeheartedly believe that dog saved my life I live on a farm in Bucks County Pennsylvania it's just my wife and our infant son living there oh and of course my Rottweiler Jesse we have Jesse sleep outside in his doggy house from the months of May to October it serves as an extra form of protection and intimidation to potential burglars but also allows for him to do his business freely without having to wake one of us up Jesse always has a mount attached to his collar that connects to the doggie house so that he can't run away or get lost very seldom at night we hear Jesse barking and given that he's a guard dog he's trained to bark at suspicious people so I always go out and check when we hear him barking but again it's very very seldom I'm gonna skip the fluff and get right to the night that my wife and I woke up at like 1:30 a.m. to Jesse's barks outside I told my wife who was also sitting up with me to wait in the bed I'll go have a look I slipped on my shoes and went outside with my robe Jesse took notice to me for a second but resumed barking in the direction of our crops had to go back inside for a flashlight and Jesse's leash because I planned on going in the crops with him and after clipping Jesse's leash onto his collar he knew right away to take a lead he led me into the crops I had the flashlight on give him the basic miniature of a cornfield I didn't really see much in front of me besides crops in my face regardless of the light Jesse stopped barking but he was still pulling me through the crops as if he knew exactly where he was going then out of nowhere he stopped sniffing and just stopped he looked up but I didn't know if he heard something if he was looking at something or if he was just lost the two of us stood in silence right there for a little bit I heard crops in the near distance being brushed around suddenly Jesse's head was all over the place he was looking left then right then left again as if you were hearing sounds coming from everywhere he started barking and pulling together but this time I yanked him back to stay put I swallowed and took a deep breath before calling out into the night that this was a private property and anyone caught trespassing would be brought to jail it's like more bravery calling that out than you may think and of course I was gonna yell out a threat like that what else could I say the situation felt so surreal and then it was the scream of a woman a distressed manic deranged cop scream Jesse started pulling in the direction of the screams but the more we ran the further the scream seemed to get until they completely stopped then Jessie once again stopped running and started looking around in different directions suddenly there was the sound of someone zooming past us rushing through the crops in fact they were so close I could see some of the crops maybe five feet from my face being brushed aside this time I let Jessie off the leash I told him to go catch them Jessie disappeared in seconds I heard his barks though I was getting further away with every passing second and so I was sitting in the middle of the crops alone shaking him here I was so scared I didn't even want to move in fear of making noise and giving away my position I was as scared as a young child then the most horrific thing to ever happen to me happened a couple crops were brushed aside behind me and something grabbed my right shoulder I don't mean a friendly light tap on the shoulder I mean something grabbed my shoulder tight and squeeze to the point of it hurting I screamed and without looking back ran in the direction I was 90% sure led back to the house my way back I could hear Jessie's barks in the far distance I wasn't about to go looking for him though I thanks God when I saw the roof of my house come into view in the distance and I finally reached the edge of the cornfield onto the back lawn I passed the big oak tree in the yard and Jessie's doghouse and went straight through the back door I checked every door and every window to make sure they were locked I told my wife as little as I could to prevent a freak out but I did tell her there was someone maybe even more than one person in the crops we called the sheriff's office made it up for a while making sure no one came to either door and in hopes that Jessie would come back and thank our lucky stars he did when a deputy finally pulled up the dirt road to our farm an hour later he found Jessie sitting on the back deck of the house there wasn't much the deputy could do other than take down my description of what happens he said it himself he wasn't about to go searching around that cornfield we let Jessie sleep inside for the next few nights for his own safety and after almost a week of uneventful miss things went back to normal there hasn't been a similar incident since [Music]
