My next door neighbor has a Great Pyrenees Anatolian mix. He is huge and very protective of his owner's property. Alway barks at me when I pull into my driveway or go out to the backyard. When I smoke or grill the smell drives him nuts.

The owners keep him on a tether as he is a bit aggressive to his other dogs. One night after midnight I woke to barking and whimpering. Looked out and this huge dog was struggling and rolling around. I turned the floodlight on and went out. He had dug under the chain link fence and pushed his way through on my side. He ran out of cord and was all tangled, so I was worried he would choke to death. I pushed him so there was slack on the line. Tried to untangle him but he was not having any of that. Woke up his owner he just dragged by the cord and collar, pulled him under the fence.

I had put a pork butt in the pellet grill to have it readt to be pulled by lunch time. I think that poor dog tried to get to where the good smells were coming from. WE are good buddies now, but he still barks at me from the other side of the fence. I give him treats off the grill I think i'm on his good side.
