Thunder, Lighting, and Great Danes, OH MY

I just had to tell a funny story about something that happened to my husband and I last night. We made a late night trip to the local Kroger. On the way home we turned on to our street and we saw an large animal in our head lights. For just a second we thought it was a deer, but then we realized it was a BIG dog. It was a Great Dane just trotting down the street. LOL

Fast forward about three hours....

A big storm started passing over our area. There was a lot of thunder and lighting, the sky looked like a giant strobe light. We decided to set out on the porch swing and watch the storm for a while. All the sudden I saw something big walking down the street out of the corner of my eye. I got up to see what it was, and it was the same Great Dane. I turned around to tell my husband what I saw and the dog must have heard me because it started pacing back and forth in front of our fence. My husband stood up to see him, and the dog saw us and decided to come into the yard.

He stuck his nose in the front gate, and started coming in. My husband said something, and I looked to see where the dog was and all the sudden the sky lit up and it was standing right beside me. I yelled and just about jumped out of my skin. LOL It was huge, it was so tall it went past my waist. It was sopping wet and shook all the water off on to my husband and me. We were soaking wet. LOL My husband decided we better come in the house because if our cat smelled dog on us she would have a fit! LOL

Well, the dog decided it wanted to come in the house. We nearly never got in to the house. LOL

We were really lucky the dog was good natured. If he had wanted to, he could have had us for a late night snack. LOL My husband said if we had a saddle, I could saddled it up and rode around the neighborhood. LOL

It hung out on our front porch until the storm passed, and then went on it's way. I hope it found it's way home. It looked so pitiful out there all wet and sad looking!
It had a nice collar on, but we didn't see a tag on it.
