mad dog

the stray dogs roaming the bangalore streets ignore humans during the day, but become territorial at night. one dog patrols the area around my home, and even sleeps in my driveway. during the day he completely ignores me. after 11pm he treats me as an evil intruder, barking and growling and baring his teeth. i stare him down and make my own threatening noises, which so far keeps him at bay. this happened again last night as usual, only this time the building guard gave the dog a beating for it. i should have tipped him i think.
