Lefty obviously knew the type of guy he was while he camped. Their sense of good and bad should not be overlooked. Dogs and cats not only make life long companions but become an important family member.
In the 80s I was based in Allakaket Alaska. I'd been hired to be a advisor to regular teachers who were also teaching Special Rd. Students in five Athabascan Indian villages. I and my Husky Gemeye would catch a charter flight to fly out Monday and back home on Friday. One Monday we flew into Hughes and were staying in the one room school. At about two in the morning a drunk man started banging on the school door yelling that he wanted to see the "pretty lady staying there". I had a handgun that I carried due to Grizzly Bear, and I had Gemeye. He'd never been aggressive until then.. As the man rattled the door trying to get in he charged the door barking , growling and jumping up on the door. Pretty quickly the drunk staggered away. I'd never been more impressed and proud of my Alaskan Husky!!!
Thank you for your public service. 🐕🦺 I hope you didn't have to deal with any of the crap currently going on! I used to have an Akita/Wolf mix and I never once had a person or another K9 give us any problems. We would chase Packs of coyotes out of our parks and neighborhoods. Gentlest giant that no K9 or person would mess with. They truly are man's best friend! 🛡️
Dogs can be great at protecting owners but they need to be trained for it. Many will bark at strangers but if you want your dog to defend you in case you are attacked or against an intruder. Its not hard to train a pit to attack but better to have it trained with an experienced trainer unless you just want an overall aggressive dog.

I had a Bull Massif years ago when my girls were all home growing up that was spoiled rotten and quite honestly I thought he was a big scary cat as he never got excited about anything. He never even growled or bark he was just gentle as a lamb with the girls and their friends. One evening I was at the store shopping when my cell started ringing it was my oldest in tears and hysterical I couldn't understand a word she said, so I left my shopping cart full of food and drove straight home to find a half dozen police cars out side my house and a house full of policeman starring at my huge dog with a pair of human legs hanging out his mouth. Once I got him to dispatch the dude from his jowls the dude begged the cops to arrest him and take him to jail. Needless to say that dog ate Steak that night!
I’m glad that lefty was able to demonstrate his ability to take control of the situation during a situation that didn’t result in any harm coming to either one of you. I have two dogs that were both born deaf and blind because of birth defects one is nine years old and one is three. My nine year old is very passive and a real love bug but doesn’t really do much in the way of alerting me to anything other than she’s hungry. My three-year-old however let me know last summer that someone was coming into our camp while I was in the tent and she was out front on a leash, she went off the hook barking. I stuck my head out of the tent and quickly walked up to her gave her the prompt chill and she would not. She usually does what she knows I’m close. The man put up his hands and said hey I don’t want any problems sorry sorry and backed out of our camp site. I don’t know if the guy wanted to borrow a cup of sugar or had other intentions. I do not appreciate strangers walking up towards my tent without at least yelling hello or something to let me know. But he didn’t know my dog was deaf and blind he just knew my dog was loud and obnoxious and wasn’t going to take a chance on getting bit. So I do totally understand that a good dog is worth more than their weight in gold when you’re walked up on or in your case driven up on. I love Lefty he is the coolest.
I live in the mountains of Colorado and I’m glad somebody called the authorities on him. People come out here and they think that they have a ride to build a campfire but I believe I have a right to keep my house, my life and my family‘s well-being in tact. I don’t need some dumb idiot making a mistake with a fire and costing me everything I have.
@@TheCampulanceMan I agree, they’re very nice to have to relax around and cook on but not at all a necessity. I like just being in the woods, listening to nature. You seem like a very nice guy and I’m sorry this jerk was threatening.
I love camp fires. If we can, we do. But even on my little ranch I won't make a back yard camp fire if there's a breeze. And when I do, the hose is on and ready.
As dry as it is and he's got a camp fire. It would take only minutes for it to spread. Putting you and everyone else in danger. Then he leaves his trashy beer can behind. He deserves a big fine. This why so many areas are closing to campers. Thank you for the video. Stay safe and Blessings to you.
So true! The more I travel the more trash I see. One of these days, only a few rich people will be able to go into a National Park to camp since they will be closed to everyone else.
Yes Lefty the Dog did his part but you may want to pack some Heat and if you are not already. Lefty can only do so much and then it's time for you to step in. Most people out there on BLM Land are good people and like minded. However, BLM Land can attract the the worst of society and never let your guard Down. People say too often "Stay Safe". I say be ready and aggressive given the circumstances.
Lefty is a great companion. He looks healthy & happy. To keep him that way as long as possible add some medicinal mushrooms to his diet for you too. Great for your health. Maybe consider some bear mace at the ready for the unruly people that hopefully, you rarely run into.
I've met several creeps and aholes while hiking but I've met way more awesome individuals who were friendly and went above and beyond the expectations of human kindness. The kind of friendliness you only see out in the parks. Maybe it's because we are in a vulnerable place and the good guys and gals have to look out for each other.
“Who’s a good boy?” You have a great dog in Lefty. His actions demonstrated his love for his pack, his family. And you can be sure he will not hesitate to protect you, or anyone in your family. What a great story. I hope Lefty got a “better than usual supper that particular night. 😎 🐾❤️
@@TheCampulanceMan he was wrong. You didn’t deserve that anger. I want to escape anger. That’s why we all go out isn’t it? Life has been soo hostile and we need peace. You are a good dog owner. Please get two more dogs. You can attach a landscape trailer, raise walls and cover it to expand space
Just the fact that he left his trash, tells a lot about this individual. Let alone violated the fire ban, at a dangerous time. No regard for anyone or anything but himself.
It’s so frustrating! He must have been raised in the 50s and never bothered to keep up with the current environmental awareness. Have you ever seen Mad Men? There is one episode where the family is luxuriating in a park after enjoying a picnic together. When they’ve had their fill of nature’s beauty, they simply pick up the picnic basket, shake the wrappings and garbage off onto the ground, fold the picnic blanket, and drive away, leaving their litter everywhere. It’s never been entirely acceptable but it was probably much less likely to incur the wrath of a fellow park attendant, back in the good old days, when pregnant women didn’t bat an eye at smoking cigarettes and drinking wine, or giving their kids choking hazards to eat while they’re running around outside, with a plastic bag on their heads. Times have changed, fortunately but those scenes always cracked me up.
People are crazy and get violent when they don’t get their way. Makes me super glad I travel with Rex. Seems super insane that so many people travel into nature to “get away from it all” and then behave in destructive ways.
It seems super insane that so many people travel into nature to "get away from it all" and end up taking "it all" with them in a travel trailer or RV that contains stove, t.v., microwave oven, toilet and bathing facilities, video games, internet access, etc. etc. With all that, you can "get away from it all" in your own back yard.
@Reb Yeah, you are right!! But then again everyone is different when camping or no camping!!! Different strokes for different folks. We all have our preferences of getting away from it all. There is no right way, just your way.!!!!
@@reb1050 Your point is valid … in most cases, surely. In my case, health concerns require that I have facilities and the ability to prepare meals my body can tolerate, if I’m to remain healthy. I used to backpack and tent camp, and I admit I feel guilty for camping the way I do, now. I love the outdoors, though, and my rig allows me to get out there. That said, having a TV, video games and all the technology that accompanies everyday life? Well, those are things I intentionally go without. That’s backyard “camping” to be sure!! ;-)
@@H93736 RV Camping doesn't count as camping. You might as well of stayed home as it causes extra destruction to the environment with gas/sewer/water hook ups
Semi? More like outright! Nothing like camping with the wife and dog and having some liquored up teenager drive right through your camp spraying gravel over you and the camper and then doing donuts in front of you giving you another layer of gravel on each pass. That's why I carry everytime I camp out in the wilderness. P.S. that idiot drove into the lake too.
@@darrellcook8253 Didn't realize being a teenager "spraying gravel" was a fatal offense. lol If you're an adult, man up & spray some back with your own vehicle. Stop with the frightened wannbe police officer bit. lol
My family and I had a similar experience while camping in Nevada. The wife, kids and I set up our site and prepared to fix the evening meal. Our two Rotties were just lazing about watching the action. They were the first to notice two meth looking freaks lurking around our site as soon as it got dark. Oddly enough two 115lbs Rotts and a racking 12 ga convinced them to bugger off. Nothing says safety like big dogs and a 12 ga. shotgun. Have fun and enjoy your adventures but remember to always be safe and alert.
I strongly believe we have the right to bare arms. I will protect my family and self at all cost. Unfortunately it’s a minority and not the majority that chooses to do the unimaginable with weapons and ruins it for the rest.
One time an aggressive pit ran up to my son that was 4yo at the time. My red heeler runt took on the pit buying me time to get my son to safety. Then I had to save her from getting attacked. The owners of the pit apologized and asked if my dog was okay. Then I asked if their pit was okay, because my little dog held her own. She’s my son’s protector.
I wouldn't call Lefty aggressive but rather protective as dogs like him get a bad name because of dangerous owners. Dogs are very smart because they can sense things by odors and other things that we put off. Thank God for Lefty. Be safe and take care out there.
I had this pitbull that passed away a couple years ago well anyways this guy came over to my sister's house one day and my dog hated this guy never hated anyone before barked at anyone nothing. I had to hold her back from attacking him so a couple days go by his girlfriend leaves him for some other guy she goes over to get her stuff i go with her because i knew it was not gonna be good and the second she walks in the door he attacks her she drops i end up having to deal with the guy which i felt bad because he wasn't all there but i couldn't just stand there and let him beat her up. Then unknown to me he has a brother that lives downstairs and didn't know what happened or what was going on and tried to attack me and i end up having to mess up two guys that night and my dog all along knew that guy shouldn't be trusted. Even stranger that girl and guy had only dated a short while, so the violence was kinda unexpected as she thought he was a nice guy.
Wow! 1. Great intro. Again. 2. Yes. The guy was a dick 3. But, smart enough to stay at door of truck...cause I'm thinking he figured ole Lefty was about to have him for dinner! 4. Hats off to Lefty.
Some people would rather face a gun instead of a large dog. If you are not afraid of a large dog, you are not right. We have 2 pits in our family, they come sleep with the kids and will stand their ground if need be. Good job Lefty!!
What a companion that lefty is .A loyal dogs senses are a lot more keen than we think . you are very fortunate to have such a loyal and protector of you.standing on 4 legs.stay safe you 2
There's no substitute for a great pup she's not only your friend but you know when they have your back and you never put them in a situation for failure they'll warn you and then it's time for you to take over good job
Thank goodness you had Lefty with you. When there is a burn ban all unauthorized fire you can see the smoke for miles. Dogs can feel the threat, good job Lefty.
My Bella that just passed she looked just like lefty but was fawn colored but the same size same head same they could be twins just different color and I rescued her she was the sweetest dog but she knew to protect me. They have a 6th sense about them they know who to be nice to and who to tear up that breed is the best. I miss her daily. Well stay safe stay strong stay healthy God bless and enjoy life and give lefty a hug for me 🌻✌💖💪👨🍳🎅🚌👍
I love all dogs. I grew up in the bush in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) & we had Rhodesian Ridgebacks. In my older age I have a Patterdale Terrier. All black & the sweetest little girl. I have oesteo arthritis in my hands. When I play with her she puts her mouth over my fingers, but does not bite, then licks my fingers. When I cry, she cries. She is so adorable & loves attention & affection. We have a set routine, when she knows her morning treat is 2 apple slices. She knows lunch (yummies) is 1.30 p.m. She follows me everywhere, even to the loo. I spoil her rotten of course. I've been hurt & abandoned by my own family, so she is my family. Dogs are so loving & loyal. But like children, you need to teach them from a pup. She is very obedient, but now she's 10 years old, she gets a bit stubborn & grumpy at times. I forgive her. Stay safe out there!
and that is another reason why I am armed when I go camping... too many crazies out there. Glad to know that nothing came from this altercation, who's a good boi? Lefty!!!
My Mom's dog was the sweetest tempered fella( and huge) but when a man showed aggression towards my Mom, Aston was all protector . I'm glad you now know just what a great protector you have that he would face down a truck to keep you safe
You take care and be safe. Your dog is your best friend and protector. Never doubt your dogs warnings. They know danger better than us. love that dog. Greetings from Dublin Ireland
Wild fires are absolutely devastating,shame on him for even wanting a fire in those conditions. Great job Lefty, he's not going to let Anyone mess with his favorite person.I would want a gun and Lefty if I were out there alone. Looks so Beautiful there. Enjoy yourselfs.
Sadly there are always going to be f….wits around who can be dangerous and violent over minor and silly issues. Always need to be on your guard for these crazies.!
When I was a kid there was absolutely nothing menacing about me and yet every dog I came across in my little town would act like I was the devil. They don't have this innate sense of a person's inner thoughts like everyone thinks.
My dog is a fantastic guard dig. She started at 4 months old. She is going on 9 years old come October. My truck, my motorhome or my person is her property & she doesn't like anyone getting close. Good job, Lefty!
I just happened across this video and I am completely hooked. I love the dog and how he talks to you. He is so funny. I just happen to have 2 very good friend that are out there in quartsite some where. There name are Barb and Tom Mertsching. Just about a month ago she got covid and passed away. We had been close friend since I was 14 and I am 61 now. It is really nice there and I can see why she loved it so much. We both grew up in the pacific northwest. Enough of that. I am build a tiny house. At the time I started this build my then 86 yr. old dad did everything. Work has come to a stop because I have no one to help with everything I need. I am accumulating stuff for when I start again. I will not live in it until my dad passes away because I care for him 24/7. I have subscribed to your channel and will binge watch every one. You both are inspiring me to get back at.
Thank you for joining us Karen. I do hope your project gets sorted - I get a lot of enjoyment from building my rig and all that has gone along with it :)
Nice rig. Unfortunately, there are people that feel like they’re being told what to do, and can’t understand normal thinking. No doubt in my mind a time to carry. I’m glad your dog was enough of a deterrent.
I was tent camping at Buffalo River in Arkansas at the Ozark campground. I had a little sheltie on a leash. She was sweet as anything, but when the campground host entered our camping area, she got barky and scared the crap out of him. She was doing her job - protecting her herd. When he saw her outside of our camp, she was friendly. He apologized for telling me I had an aggressive dog.
I had a very similar experience when I was traveling through southern Utah a year ago. Unfortunately I didn't have a Lefty like friend to warn me and the guy was right at my door screaming at me. I have no idea what it was about. It was very random. I ended up speeding away to avoid altercation. People are getting crazy out there. Glad you are ok and have a great companion there. Anyway glad I found your channel. Am living vicariously through other people's travels these days. Love what you did with your ambulance. Keep it up 👍
@@matthewcraig8926 Sad indictment of our society today when one needs to carry a gun. You expected THAT back in the 1800's. (Outlaws, Indigenous people, etc.)
@@bocabec6744 Must be tough gathering wood for a campfire using only one hand... Or getting water... Or even taking a piss: no way I'm handling my family jewel with a gun so close to it ! 😁
Always trust your dog's instinct. I remember the only time I heard the family dog growl. I was around 9 years old. The dog was a Wolf, Husky, German Shepherd about 130lbs of pure love. A friend of my father came over to our house with a guy he had just meet at work. The guy asked about the dog. My father was telling this guy about the dog when the guy tried to pet our dog. The dog started with this low growl, and his hair started to stand up. My father told the guy "I'm sorry, but you have to leave my house." The guy went on his way and my father told me, " Always trust your dog. They know things you don't. They will protect their pack, and we are a part of that pack." I found out later that that guy hurt kids and ended up in prison. I have always had a big dog because of that guy.
Lefty is such a great protector., and most definitely stamina :) Good for any forest rangers out there that monitor the campgrounds and place the flags. Too many fires out west. Take Care!
I agree. If I had listened to our dog in 1975, I would have saved a lot of litigation against a car dealership who fraudulently sold me a car. Shag wanted to crawl through the ventilation opening in the window of my trade-in to get to the salesman.
Great training and instinct for Lefty! Thankful you both and rig are safe! A lot of Lawless people are everywhere these days . It sure does help to stay Prayed up. Happy and Blessed trails.
I love your videos. I'm 61 and wanting to go nomad. I've been living and building tiny home for 3 yrs. Have a rented lot of 250 month. Thinking bout cargo trailer. Went from school we to ambulance now at the trailer. Not sure what I want. You are great. Inspiration to me. Love lefty. Can't go a day without y'all. I live in tn.. keep coming with what you do. I have 4 dogs all rescue. God bless
Its always good to have a buddy with you, especially one that can serve as a protector. When we go off on our van life adventure we need to bring a friend like lefty!
Good boy Lefty ! Hard to beat a good dog …. Recently was out for a walk with mine and was approached by a fellow who had “broken down” dog didn’t say anything while I was talking to single gentleman and then 2 more guys got out of car. He immediately went into growling and barking and backed those two guys back around to the other side of car. He realized we were outnumbered I guess. It was like someone flipped a switch. Gave me the opportunity to excuse us from the situation and we left. I like you had often wondered if my laid back dog had it in him to be a protector, and he showed that evening that he did.
Had a rash of break ins , in my rural neighborhood during my military service in NC, I went to the corner gas station, Kelly was in her backyard pen and at that time, According to my neighbor, my neighbor was experiencing a break in while she was alone when someone tried to break in her door, she was screaming behind the door , and Kelly jumped her pen and positioned herself between the door and the assailant, gave the person the growls , barks, teeth, posture, etc. and the person took off. My neighbor was shook up when I got back and told me the story, Kelly could do no wrong in her (neighbor) eyes ever. Kelly loved people, not a fan of other dogs, animals though, she was a pitbull , through and through, I hope there's a place in heaven for her.
Hello, yes having a good size dog is so worthwhile for so many reasons but protecting us number one when living on the road. Here in Australia we have put out so many camp fires when campers leave it is ridiculous. People are just so selfish when hot and dry lighting fires. Good job Lefty, yes he is loyal and loved so he will protect you. Stay safe. Love and hugs from your Aussie nomad friends 🤗
Hi David- Yes, living on the road has it's occasional downside(s). As a long haul OTR trucker (retired), there are some selfish people you just cannot avoid, sometimes difficult to shake them. You handled that situation very well. In the face of unruliness, you kept composure. Lefty is a terrific neutralizer, restored that person to his senses.
I've had run ins with people and with bears and my heeler Waylon both down.he loves people and most dogs but he gets real mean with dickheads and bears.and he's fast.hay man you did right.I'm living the dream in Montana.
Yeah that guy meant no good. He was triggered and ready to act. A gently well loved dog will usually take care of you. I've always been amazed at mine. Well done Lefty and papa who raised him well ❤
I ho nowhere without my dogs. Dogs know people that are dangerous. Mine have saved me many times. Great dog, Lefty. One of my dogs suddenly came to my protection that I never thought would. Dogs rise to the occasion. Stay safe. Give him a treat
If your Lefty had cropped ears he'd twin my Sam😃. Sam is deaf but super alert and protective when he is not being a snuggle buddy. Glad it turned out well for you! Dogs and guns are wonderful to keep handy.👍🏻😃🇺🇲 Safe, happy travels💖🎉 Enjoy God's creation!!!
I know our white guys are prone to hearing problems and that's something they'd tested Lefty for at the shelter. That was the first I'd heard of that happening to white pups...
That creep was aggressively parked on your site, encroaching on your property. He was up to no good, as evidenced by his belligerent complaint from his running board. He was about to go off half-cocked. Imagine if you had come outside to find him red-faced and yelling in your face. Good boy Lefty, good boy.
Maybe no one called and reported it. If they just put the signs up the day before, it could be they were patrolling to let current campers know the fire ban was on, and putting the red flags in the fire pits. Either way, he shouldn’t have had a fire and if someone called, good on them! This country has lost too much to wildfires. Some nerve, he breaks the rules then gets aggressive to defend his own poor judgement.
Imagine thinking that wildfires are bad for the environment… that’s why we do control burns… the only reason we control them is because of an invasive species called humans that live where we try to burn off underbrush. The world burns itself and it helps the soil. Forests grow back stronger after fires than before fires because there’s no weeds taking the stuff the trees need to eat. And it essentially make a compost pile on the floor of the forest. Those are all great things for an environment. Fire looks bad but it isn’t…
I live in the San Bernardino mountains, right on the mountain. When there’s a ban you need to obey the ban and you need to find out beforehand. We don’t want to burn. I don’t know where this is but we hillbillies take it very serious. I carry a fire extinguisher at all times and would’ve just spray his pit and maybe him if he gives me lip. That’s how we roll.
Saved by a good boy. Staffies are the best. Great dog. Good luck, I've run into worse, got attacked at Indian Valley Reservoir. Over an illegal campfire too. After all was said and done a tow truck had to pull him out of the lake and his buddies drove him to the hospital. I had enough and never went back. And I won't go again without a gun. The situation changed.
Good boy Lefty, he knew that guy was capable of no good given the right set of circumstances. Dogs sense things immediately that we need time to figure out. Trust his instincts. Yes, I believe that Lefty would be very protective if necessary.
Consider the residents of that "remote" area. My guess is someone who lives nearby and takes walks discovered the fire and called it in and rightfully so. You are correct. That area in the dry season is a tinderbox, hence the fire ban. Imagine your life/house/family being endangered by a random camper who decides to ignore the ban thinking they can just leave if something happens. Having personally lived in a remote and periodically dry area, I completely understand why someone called this in to the authorities. Unfortunately, you and Lefty were caught in the middle of a situation that the lawbreaker created for himself. Nice job handling a volatile person.
Smart dogs know, can "read people". I have had personal experience, with a super graced dog, who "read" some characters. You are a team, and that's how Lefty sees it. You keep him fed and healthy. He will keep you safe, and warm. Seeing that guys fire pit, with a trash beer can. That's all you need to know. Be well, keep up with the informative, and fun episodes! You're gonna wake up to a winter wonderland soon?
@@-sensibleChris Very true. A friend was mauled when he was just a young kid. He had terrible scars all over his face and was deathly afraid of dogs from then on.
He is a good boy. Yeah Lefty! My pit used to sleep in my bed. And all I had to say in a whisper was, who is it? And Mr. Bruno would go to every door in the house and alert/bark when determined where threat was coming from. He was a great dog as Lefty is to you. Lefty loves you and would do anything for you.
I love the way Lefty blinked at you at 12:10! I've learned that blinking is a way to say hello and be affectionate. I use the method with my abuse rescue Rusty boy. He actually taught it to me. Silly mom took a while to figure it out. So glad everything worked out with the fire-man.
Lefty is a great dog and sorry to hear that you had to deal with that situation. Fires are no joke. I have seen a few drones flying around. Nice ones. Wondering if the park or forest service are using drones to monitor areas. Hopefully, they are. If so, it would be better to share with people that the drone picked up on the fire. People love to blame and no one needs that kind of confrontation.
Lefty obviously knew the type of guy he was while he camped. Their sense of good and bad should not be overlooked. Dogs and cats not only make life long companions but become an important family member.

Dogs can be great at protecting owners but they need to be trained for it. Many will bark at strangers but if you want your dog to defend you in case you are attacked or against an intruder. Its not hard to train a pit to attack but better to have it trained with an experienced trainer unless you just want an overall aggressive dog.
You got that right. I always say I haven't met a dog that I didn't like, I can't say the same about humans, not even close.

I have two dogs that were both born deaf and blind because of birth defects one is nine years old and one is three. My nine year old is very passive and a real love bug but doesn’t really do much in the way of alerting me to anything other than she’s hungry. My three-year-old however let me know last summer that someone was coming into our camp while I was in the tent and she was out front on a leash, she went off the hook barking. I stuck my head out of the tent and quickly walked up to her gave her the prompt chill and she would not. She usually does what she knows I’m close. The man put up his hands and said hey I don’t want any problems sorry sorry and backed out of our camp site. I don’t know if the guy wanted to borrow a cup of sugar or had other intentions. I do not appreciate strangers walking up towards my tent without at least yelling hello or something to let me know. But he didn’t know my dog was deaf and blind he just knew my dog was loud and obnoxious and wasn’t going to take a chance on getting bit. So I do totally understand that a good dog is worth more than their weight in gold when you’re walked up on or in your case driven up on. I love Lefty he is the coolest.
I live in the mountains of Colorado and I’m glad somebody called the authorities on him. People come out here and they think that they have a ride to build a campfire but I believe I have a right to keep my house, my life and my family‘s well-being in tact. I don’t need some dumb idiot making a mistake with a fire and costing me everything I have.
I'm with you. There's something about fire... like there needs to be a campfire... I don't subscribe to that feeling.
@@TheCampulanceMan I agree, they’re very nice to have to relax around and cook on but not at all a necessity. I like just being in the woods, listening to nature. You seem like a very nice guy and I’m sorry this jerk was threatening.
I love camp fires. If we can, we do. But even on my little ranch I won't make a back yard camp fire if there's a breeze. And when I do, the hose is on and ready.
He's a good boy, I think I would have to buy him his own chair after showing that guy who the boss was.
Those fold up chairs the soccer moms like can come in a two seater size, just right for Lefty to stretch out. 😁
Isn't that lefty chair by David's chair??
It all on him, he break law , and you need give lefty a big bone as reward 😉
Lefty is a good boy! It's always good to have a barky dog if you solo camp/live. I have 2...hehehe.
As dry as it is and he's got a camp fire. It would take only minutes for it to spread. Putting you and everyone else in danger. Then he leaves his trashy beer can behind. He deserves a big fine. This why so many areas are closing to campers. Thank you for the video. Stay safe and Blessings to you.
So true! The more I travel the more trash I see. One of these days, only a few rich people will be able to go into a National Park to camp since they will be closed to everyone else.
@Erik Zachary there is a type of soil that burns called peat, though its normally in bogs or wetter areas
He’s a good protector. Good boy Lefty. Stay safe David.
Yes Lefty the Dog did his part but you may want to pack some Heat and if you are not already. Lefty can only do so much and then it's time for you to step in. Most people out there on BLM Land are good people and like minded. However, BLM Land can attract the the worst of society and never let your guard Down. People say too often "Stay Safe". I say be ready and aggressive given the circumstances.
Yeah, good boy Lefty! Be safe ✌🏾
Lefty is a great companion. He looks healthy & happy. To keep him that way as long as possible add some medicinal mushrooms to his diet for you too. Great for your health. Maybe consider some bear mace at the ready for the unruly people that hopefully, you rarely run into.
I've met several creeps and aholes while hiking but I've met way more awesome individuals who were friendly and went above and beyond the expectations of human kindness. The kind of friendliness you only see out in the parks. Maybe it's because we are in a vulnerable place and the good guys and gals have to look out for each other.
We've met many great folks out here, a lot. The undesirables are few thankfully.
“Who’s a good boy?”
You have a great dog in Lefty.
His actions demonstrated his love for his pack, his family. And you can be sure he will not hesitate to protect you, or anyone in your family.
What a great story.
I hope Lefty got a “better than usual supper that particular night. 😎
🐾❤️
Thank you :) I'm lucky to have him with me :)
@@TheCampulanceMan he was wrong. You didn’t deserve that anger.
I want to escape anger. That’s why we all go out isn’t it? Life has been soo hostile and we need peace.
You are a good dog owner. Please get two more dogs. You can attach a landscape trailer, raise walls and cover it to expand space
@@TheCampulanceMan hehe 😉 he likes attention.
I was going to but I have to get out first
Just the fact that he left his trash, tells a lot about this individual.
Let alone violated the fire ban, at a dangerous time. No regard for anyone or anything but himself.
It’s so frustrating! He must have been raised in the 50s and never bothered to keep up with the current environmental awareness.
Have you ever seen Mad Men? There is one episode where the family is luxuriating in a park after enjoying a picnic together. When they’ve had their fill of nature’s beauty, they simply pick up the picnic basket, shake the wrappings and garbage off onto the ground, fold the picnic blanket, and drive away, leaving their litter everywhere.
It’s never been entirely acceptable but it was probably much less likely to incur the wrath of a fellow park attendant, back in the good old days, when pregnant women didn’t bat an eye at smoking cigarettes and drinking wine, or giving their kids choking hazards to eat while they’re running around outside, with a plastic bag on their heads. Times have changed, fortunately but those scenes always cracked me up.
@@jeannievail Yea, I base my opinion on high school teachers and students now days, by watching "Breakin Bad"...
@@muddogtracker7449 I love that one too. 😁
What if I told you that the trash might’ve been there before he got there?
People are crazy and get violent when they don’t get their way. Makes me super glad I travel with Rex. Seems super insane that so many people travel into nature to “get away from it all” and then behave in destructive ways.
Maybe this guy didn't want to get away from it all, but just wanted to escape responsibility for his actions.
It seems super insane that so many people travel into nature to "get away from it all" and end up taking "it all" with them in a travel trailer or RV that contains stove, t.v., microwave oven, toilet and bathing facilities, video games, internet access, etc. etc. With all that, you can "get away from it all" in your own back yard.
@Reb
Yeah, you are right!! But then again everyone is different when camping or no camping!!!
Different strokes for different folks. We all have our preferences of getting away from it all. There is no right way, just your way.!!!!
@@reb1050 Your point is valid … in most cases, surely. In my case, health concerns require that I have facilities and the ability to prepare meals my body can tolerate, if I’m to remain healthy. I used to backpack and tent camp, and I admit I feel guilty for camping the way I do, now. I love the outdoors, though, and my rig allows me to get out there. That said, having a TV, video games and all the technology that accompanies everyday life? Well, those are things I intentionally go without. That’s backyard “camping” to be sure!! ;-)
@@H93736 RV Camping doesn't count as camping. You might as well of stayed home as it causes extra destruction to the environment with gas/sewer/water hook ups
I think you have raised an important consideration here - the semi-lawlessness out in these remote places.
Semi? More like outright! Nothing like camping with the wife and dog and having some liquored up teenager drive right through your camp spraying gravel over you and the camper and then doing donuts in front of you giving you another layer of gravel on each pass.
That's why I carry everytime I camp out in the wilderness. P.S. that idiot drove into the lake too.
@@darrellcook8253 "Liqoured up teenagers"? "Harry" would've called them, "two bit punks!", and he would've been right.😉
😂
@@pkgum6910 As in Dirty Harry?
@@darrellcook8253 Didn't realize being a teenager "spraying gravel" was a fatal offense. lol If you're an adult, man up & spray some back with your own vehicle. Stop with the frightened wannbe police officer bit. lol
My family and I had a similar experience while camping in Nevada. The wife, kids and I set up our site and prepared to fix the evening meal. Our two Rotties were just lazing about watching the action. They were the first to notice two meth looking freaks lurking around our site as soon as it got dark. Oddly enough two 115lbs Rotts and a racking 12 ga convinced them to bugger off. Nothing says safety like big dogs and a 12 ga. shotgun.
Have fun and enjoy your adventures but remember to always be safe and alert.
I love it!!!
I strongly believe we have the right to bare arms. I will protect my family and self at all cost. Unfortunately it’s a minority and not the majority that chooses to do the unimaginable with weapons and ruins it for the rest.
One time an aggressive pit ran up to my son that was 4yo at the time. My red heeler runt took on the pit buying me time to get my son to safety. Then I had to save her from getting attacked. The owners of the pit apologized and asked if my dog was okay. Then I asked if their pit was okay, because my little dog held her own. She’s my son’s protector.
I wouldn't call Lefty aggressive but rather protective as dogs like him get a bad name because of dangerous owners. Dogs are very smart because they can sense things by odors and other things that we put off. Thank God for Lefty. Be safe and take care out there.
You nailed it Steven. Spot on
@@mattbadger9478 Thank you sir.
Great job Lefty!!!!!
I'm loving lefty.
I had this pitbull that passed away a couple years ago well anyways this guy came over to my sister's house one day and my dog hated this guy never hated anyone before barked at anyone nothing. I had to hold her back from attacking him so a couple days go by his girlfriend leaves him for some other guy she goes over to get her stuff i go with her because i knew it was not gonna be good and the second she walks in the door he attacks her she drops i end up having to deal with the guy which i felt bad because he wasn't all there but i couldn't just stand there and let him beat her up. Then unknown to me he has a brother that lives downstairs and didn't know what happened or what was going on and tried to attack me and i end up having to mess up two guys that night and my dog all along knew that guy shouldn't be trusted. Even stranger that girl and guy had only dated a short while, so the violence was kinda unexpected as she thought he was a nice guy.
Wow!
1. Great intro. Again.
2. Yes. The guy was a dick
3. But, smart enough to stay at door of truck...cause I'm thinking he figured ole Lefty was about to have him for dinner!
4. Hats off to Lefty.
Dogs are very "in tune" to the evil in people. Be safe and keep Lefty close...
Some people would rather face a gun instead of a large dog. If you are not afraid of a large dog, you are not right. We have 2 pits in our family, they come sleep with the kids and will stand their ground if need be. Good job Lefty!!
ppl change there minds when facing a 185 lb mastiff, lol fun to watch,be safe ,hugs from MN
I am rolling, a new landscaping person freaked out when he saw my 2# tea cup chihuahua! Said they are the worst dogs ever! I was rolling!
some people with guns dont care. I not from the States but the news globally about your country... scary
@@linebrunelle1004 What country are you from? Does your news source mention that the vast majority of shootings happen in just some neighborhoods?
They know most people don’t have the stomach to pull the trigger, but they don’t know what a dogs going to do!
Lefty saved your ass,, He was ready to give his life for you. Truly a best friend.
Great dog. Stay safe. I wouldn’t be without a good dog on the road. Man’s best friend.
Totally. Lefty knows that mans personality he could sence his imbalance. Good protector!
What a companion that lefty is .A loyal dogs senses are a lot more keen than we think . you are very fortunate to have such a loyal and protector of you.standing on 4 legs.stay safe you 2
I do feel lucky to have him with me for a lot of reasons. He's been the best buddy I've ever had :)
Don’t ever doubt that Lefty will protect you and your home! He knows and trust him over yourself!❤️🙏
Lefty is a SWEETY
Lefty i a beautiful Pit. He’s a good boy. I’ve had pits since 1973. They’re great dogs and will take care of the ones they love.
There's no substitute for a great pup she's not only your friend but you know when they have your back and you never put them in a situation for failure they'll warn you and then it's time for you to take over good job
Well done Lefty. You never know, the guy might have been going to do something to your rig. Lefty's instinct to protect his pack sure came out.
Thank goodness you had Lefty with you. When there is a burn ban all unauthorized fire you can see the smoke for miles. Dogs can feel the threat, good job Lefty.
My Bella that just passed she looked just like lefty but was fawn colored but the same size same head same they could be twins just different color and I rescued her she was the sweetest dog but she knew to protect me. They have a 6th sense about them they know who to be nice to and who to tear up that breed is the best. I miss her daily. Well stay safe stay strong stay healthy God bless and enjoy life and give lefty a hug for me 🌻✌💖💪👨🍳🎅🚌👍
A great breed for affection and security :)
I also had My BOO passed on Jan 5th. Very protective, miss her soo much😔
Haha. He really deserves to sit in your chair after his braveness!
I love all dogs. I grew up in the bush in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) & we had Rhodesian Ridgebacks. In my older age I have a Patterdale Terrier. All black & the sweetest little girl. I have oesteo arthritis in my hands. When I play with her she puts her mouth over my fingers, but does not bite, then licks my fingers. When I cry, she cries. She is so adorable & loves attention & affection.
We have a set routine, when she knows her morning treat is 2 apple slices. She knows lunch (yummies) is 1.30 p.m. She follows me everywhere, even to the loo. I spoil her rotten of course.
I've been hurt & abandoned by my own family, so she is my family.
Dogs are so loving & loyal. But like children, you need to teach them from a pup.
She is very obedient, but now she's 10 years old, she gets a bit stubborn & grumpy at times. I forgive her.
Stay safe out there!
and that is another reason why I am armed when I go camping... too many crazies out there. Glad to know that nothing came from this altercation, who's a good boi? Lefty!!!
What a good boy. Extra treats and hugs for Lefty!
He just got some bites of my steak :)
Puppyroni!
Ya but he wants to chew on the walking sticks. Just like my Lab.
@@GRIZZ23231 Just to sharpen up them doggy K-Bars 😉🐕👍
Please be safe. Keep your dog inside. He might die. He will still bark inside. I don't want your dog to die. Keep him safe.
My Mom's dog was the sweetest tempered fella( and huge) but when a man showed aggression towards my Mom, Aston was all protector . I'm glad you now know just what a great protector you have that he would face down a truck to keep you safe
You take care and be safe. Your dog is your best friend and protector. Never doubt your dogs warnings. They know danger better than us. love that dog. Greetings from Dublin Ireland
Greetings and thank you.
Our fur babies are better judge of people than we are! You have your Lucky and we have our Max and I'm sure they would give there life to protect us!
Wild fires are absolutely devastating,shame on him for even wanting a fire in those conditions. Great job Lefty, he's not going to let Anyone mess with his favorite person.I would want a gun and Lefty if I were out there alone. Looks so Beautiful there. Enjoy yourselfs.
Sadly there are always going to be f….wits around who can be dangerous and violent over minor and silly issues. Always need to be on your guard for these crazies.!
Dogs are the best judge of character alive. If your pup doesn't like someone believe his judgement. Good for Lefty watching out for y'all .
Very true. Seen it many times with my various dogs.
When I was a kid there was absolutely nothing menacing about me and yet every dog I came across in my little town would act like I was the devil. They don't have this innate sense of a person's inner thoughts like everyone thinks.
Lefty has the size & looks to make strangers think twice about invading your camp.
I've always wondered about that - I see him in my way but I see the soft side always.
Good boy Leftie!!! He sounds like my very sweet Malinois, she turns into gaurd dog when people get close to my daughter.
My dog is a fantastic guard dig. She started at 4 months old. She is going on 9 years old come October. My truck, my motorhome or my person is her property & she doesn't like anyone getting close.
Good job, Lefty!
Doing their jobs!!
Now we need to call you both Lucky. Thank God no wildfires and thank God for Lefty and of course-thank God you are ok and he is gone🙏🙏
I just happened across this video and I am completely hooked. I love the dog and how he talks to you. He is so funny. I just happen to have 2 very good friend that are out there in quartsite some where. There name are Barb and Tom Mertsching. Just about a month ago she got covid and passed away. We had been close friend since I was 14 and I am 61 now. It is really nice there and I can see why she loved it so much. We both grew up in the pacific northwest. Enough of that. I am build a tiny house. At the time I started this build my then 86 yr. old dad did everything. Work has come to a stop because I have no one to help with everything I need. I am accumulating stuff for when I start again. I will not live in it until my dad passes away because I care for him 24/7. I have subscribed to your channel and will binge watch every one. You both are inspiring me to get back at.
Thank you for joining us Karen. I do hope your project gets sorted - I get a lot of enjoyment from building my rig and all that has gone along with it :)
Nice rig. Unfortunately, there are people that feel like they’re being told what to do, and can’t understand normal thinking. No doubt in my mind a time to carry. I’m glad your dog was enough of a deterrent.
Sorry to hear you and Lefty went through this. Hip hip hooray for Lefty being a great protector. Good boy ❤
Dogs are a great judge of character!! I had a German shepherd (Storm) that I trusted his judgement!! Happy to hear alls well for you 2!! God bless!!!
I was tent camping at Buffalo River in Arkansas at the Ozark campground. I had a little sheltie on a leash. She was sweet as anything, but when the campground host entered our camping area, she got barky and scared the crap out of him. She was doing her job - protecting her herd. When he saw her outside of our camp, she was friendly. He apologized for telling me I had an aggressive dog.
They do their job - very well!!!
I had a very similar experience when I was traveling through southern Utah a year ago. Unfortunately I didn't have a Lefty like friend to warn me and the guy was right at my door screaming at me. I have no idea what it was about. It was very random. I ended up speeding away to avoid altercation.
People are getting crazy out there. Glad you are ok and have a great companion there.
Anyway glad I found your channel. Am living vicariously through other people's travels these days. Love what you did with your ambulance. Keep it up 👍
I keep a .357 magnum in my right hand while off grid. Someone get aggressive, their nose will be repositioned to the back of their head.
@@bocabec6744 I carry now when I am out in the woods. It's a wise thing to do, especially with the way things are going these days.
@@matthewcraig8926 Sad indictment of our society today when one needs to carry a gun. You expected THAT back in the 1800's. (Outlaws, Indigenous people, etc.)

“Aggressive kinda dog guard kinda person.” Love that you call you good boy a person. So cute. Love that furry person, so cute!!!
Always trust your dog's instinct. I remember the only time I heard the family dog growl. I was around 9 years old. The dog was a Wolf, Husky, German Shepherd about 130lbs of pure love. A friend of my father came over to our house with a guy he had just meet at work. The guy asked about the dog. My father was telling this guy about the dog when the guy tried to pet our dog. The dog started with this low growl, and his hair started to stand up. My father told the guy "I'm sorry, but you have to leave my house." The guy went on his way and my father told me, " Always trust your dog. They know things you don't. They will protect their pack, and we are a part of that pack." I found out later that that guy hurt kids and ended up in prison. I have always had a big dog because of that guy.
Great story!
Dogs are the best judge of character! Lefty wasn't havin it! That unstable guy had to go! Good boy Lefty!🐕👊
Lefty is such a great protector., and most definitely stamina :) Good for any forest rangers out there that monitor the campgrounds and place the flags. Too many fires out west. Take Care!
Attaboy Lefty and yes I believe he would protect you real good period stay safe David I'm sure that Lefty will help you stay safe
If push comes to shove Lefty will be there for you. Lefty could feel this intruder's menacing energy and he was at the ready if needed...
I agree. If I had listened to our dog in 1975, I would have saved a lot of litigation against a car dealership who fraudulently sold me a car. Shag wanted to crawl through the ventilation opening in the window of my trade-in to get to the salesman.
But they will shoot your dog. Keep him safe.
@@pookieholman9175 that's what I'm thinking. there are evil troublemakers, especially if you're on your own, away from patroled areas
I hope you gave him a big hug and a good treat ... good dog
I agree 100% with you. Fire and alcohol just makes a bad mixture, And if area is so dry dont do it. One must never assume. Thank god you had the dog.

Thank you Bobby - and good on you for caring for your pack :)
Dear god, what a fascinating 30 sec story that would have made
LOL that was exactly what I was thinking
Its always good to have a buddy with you, especially one that can serve as a protector. When we go off on our van life adventure we need to bring a friend like lefty!
There's a new sheriff in town and his name is Lefty
Good boy Lefty ! Hard to beat a good dog …. Recently was out for a walk with mine and was approached by a fellow who had “broken down” dog didn’t say anything while I was talking to single gentleman and then 2 more guys got out of car. He immediately went into growling and barking and backed those two guys back around to the other side of car. He realized we were outnumbered I guess. It was like someone flipped a switch. Gave me the opportunity to excuse us from the situation and we left. I like you had often wondered if my laid back dog had it in him to be a protector, and he showed that evening that he did.
Woah, so great that your pup acted!
@@TheCampulanceMan yes 👍 he got a few extra treats that evening . We enjoy your videos.
Those guys had plans for you and your dog sensed it. Our scent changes when we are aggressive.
Way to go Lefty! He’s beautiful! Pits are the best!!!
Had a rash of break ins , in my rural neighborhood during my military service in NC, I went to the corner gas station, Kelly was in her backyard pen and at that time, According to my neighbor, my neighbor was experiencing a break in while she was alone when someone tried to break in her door, she was screaming behind the door , and Kelly jumped her pen and positioned herself between the door and the assailant, gave the person the growls , barks, teeth, posture, etc. and the person took off. My neighbor was shook up when I got back and told me the story, Kelly could do no wrong in her (neighbor) eyes ever. Kelly loved people, not a fan of other dogs, animals though, she was a pitbull , through and through, I hope there's a place in heaven for her.
What a great story :) thank you for sharing that.
Hello, yes having a good size dog is so worthwhile for so many reasons but protecting us number one when living on the road. Here in Australia we have put out so many camp fires when campers leave it is ridiculous. People are just so selfish when hot and dry lighting fires. Good job Lefty, yes he is loyal and loved so he will protect you. Stay safe.
Love and hugs from your Aussie nomad friends 🤗
Hi David- Yes, living on the road has it's occasional downside(s). As a long haul OTR trucker (retired), there are some selfish people you just cannot avoid, sometimes difficult to shake them. You handled that situation very well. In the face of unruliness, you kept composure. Lefty is a terrific neutralizer, restored that person to his senses.
I had a good sense of security having Lefty there standing ground
I've had run ins with people and with bears and my heeler Waylon both down.he loves people and most dogs but he gets real mean with dickheads and bears.and he's fast.hay man you did right.I'm living the dream in Montana.
Maybe he shoulda let LEFTY LOOSE FER A LIL LEG A SAM ........🤣😂😊🤣😂
Yeah that guy meant no good. He was triggered and ready to act.
A gently well loved dog will usually take care of you. I've always been amazed at mine. Well done Lefty and papa who raised him well ❤
I ho nowhere without my dogs. Dogs know people that are dangerous. Mine have saved me many times. Great dog, Lefty. One of my dogs suddenly came to my protection that I never thought would. Dogs rise to the occasion. Stay safe. Give him a treat
He got some rib eye that night!
If your Lefty had cropped ears he'd twin my Sam😃. Sam is deaf but super alert and protective when he is not being a snuggle buddy. Glad it turned out well for you! Dogs and guns are wonderful to keep handy.👍🏻😃🇺🇲 Safe, happy travels💖🎉 Enjoy God's creation!!!
I know our white guys are prone to hearing problems and that's something they'd tested Lefty for at the shelter. That was the first I'd heard of that happening to white pups...
Lefty did his job. Be safe. That guy has the audacity to even confront you if you did reported him. He should be ashamed.
People like that don't feel shame.
@@mrfester42 Yes. And why they're so often correctly titled a "loser".
That creep was aggressively parked on your site, encroaching on your property. He was up to no good, as evidenced by his belligerent complaint from his running board. He was about to go off half-cocked.
Imagine if you had come outside to find him red-faced and yelling in your face.
Good boy Lefty, good boy.
Maybe no one called and reported it. If they just put the signs up the day before, it could be they were patrolling to let current campers know the fire ban was on, and putting the red flags in the fire pits. Either way, he shouldn’t have had a fire and if someone called, good on them! This country has lost too much to wildfires. Some nerve, he breaks the rules then gets aggressive to defend his own poor judgement.
Absolutely right.
Imagine thinking that wildfires are bad for the environment… that’s why we do control burns… the only reason we control them is because of an invasive species called humans that live where we try to burn off underbrush. The world burns itself and it helps the soil. Forests grow back stronger after fires than before fires because there’s no weeds taking the stuff the trees need to eat. And it essentially make a compost pile on the floor of the forest. Those are all great things for an environment. Fire looks bad but it isn’t…
I live in the San Bernardino mountains, right on the mountain. When there’s a ban you need to obey the ban and you need to find out beforehand. We don’t want to burn. I don’t know where this is but we hillbillies take it very serious. I carry a fire extinguisher at all times and would’ve just spray his pit and maybe him if he gives me lip. That’s how we roll.
@@carmenmartinez2882 You're going to spray them with a fire extinguisher? Probably not a good idea. You might get killed.
Good for them? Yep..turn in your fellow Americans. You are a great patriot aren't you? You hate freedom.
I like that you didn't change a lot of the inside cabinets, etc.
Saved by a good boy. Staffies are the best. Great dog.
Good luck, I've run into worse, got attacked at Indian Valley Reservoir. Over an illegal campfire too. After all was said and done a tow truck had to pull him out of the lake and his buddies drove him to the hospital. I had enough and never went back. And I won't go again without a gun. The situation changed.
Protection is needed more and more these days!
Good boy Lefty! I also thank God that fire he had did not turn into an inferno.
Good boy Lefty, he knew that guy was capable of no good given the right set of circumstances. Dogs sense things immediately that we need time to figure out. Trust his instincts. Yes, I believe that Lefty would be very protective if necessary.
Good on you, Lefty. A big gold star for protecting your den and your alpha.
Oh Hell yes Lefty Would Step Up !! Lefty's Got your Back !!!
yes dogs know if a person is good or bad or have bad intentions, dogs are fantastic for their ability to sense who people truly are deep inside
What a “good boy” glad he was there to keep you safe. I often wonder that about my Daisy girl.
Lefty is a great dog! I look forward to your videos. Your campelance is perfect in every way. You did such a great job with designing and building
Thank you!
Been thinking of getting a dog for company. This gave me more to think about. Thanks to you and Lefty.
Dog's are awesome camping buddy's, God bless Lucky.
Beautiful dog. And yes he'd give his life for you. And he just showed you. Enjoy life
Thanks Robert
Consider the residents of that "remote" area. My guess is someone who lives nearby and takes walks discovered the fire and called it in and rightfully so. You are correct. That area in the dry season is a tinderbox, hence the fire ban. Imagine your life/house/family being endangered by a random camper who decides to ignore the ban thinking they can just leave if something happens. Having personally lived in a remote and periodically dry area, I completely understand why someone called this in to the authorities. Unfortunately, you and Lefty were caught in the middle of a situation that the lawbreaker created for himself. Nice job handling a volatile person.
Smart dogs know, can "read people". I have had personal experience, with a super graced dog, who "read" some characters.
You are a team, and that's how Lefty sees it. You keep him fed and healthy. He will keep you safe, and warm.
Seeing that guys fire pit, with a trash beer can. That's all you need to know.
Be well, keep up with the informative, and fun episodes!
You're gonna wake up to a winter wonderland soon?
We'll move on before the white stuff flies!
They can "read" wrong too. That's why you see 3 year olds with permanent bite mark scars on their faces.
@@-sensibleChris Very true. A friend was mauled when he was just a young kid. He had terrible scars all over his face and was deathly afraid of dogs from then on.
He is a good boy. Yeah Lefty!
My pit used to sleep in my bed. And all I had to say in a whisper was, who is it? And Mr. Bruno would go to every door in the house and alert/bark when determined where threat was coming from. He was a great dog as Lefty is to you.
Lefty loves you and would do anything for you.
Mr. Bruno-- What a perfect name for a dog. 👍
Lefty says,"you want trouble. I got it for you!" Sensitive dog!
He can sure step up when needed!
Lefty is a good loyal friend. I Love him. 🐾 ♥
I love the way Lefty blinked at you at 12:10! I've learned that blinking is a way to say hello and be affectionate. I use the method with my abuse rescue Rusty boy. He actually taught it to me. Silly mom took a while to figure it out. So glad everything worked out with the fire-man.
Lefty is a great dog and sorry to hear that you had to deal with that situation. Fires are no joke. I have seen a few drones flying around. Nice ones. Wondering if the park or forest service are using drones to monitor areas. Hopefully, they are. If so, it would be better to share with people that the drone picked up on the fire. People love to blame and no one needs that kind of confrontation.
That’s why I carry, on a hip holster or shoulder holster. For everyone to See 👀
And Yea I’d tell him there’s a Fire Hazard Ban !!
Your story shows why all nomads should pack heat. At least inside their dwellings.
What a sweet puppy. Dogs are a really good judge of character.
