"It scratched on the window, and then it was literally trying to open the door. It stood up. He stood up on his hind legs, back hind legs, and was literally trying to lift the door handle like it knew what it was doing."
I received the following account:
“Hi, Lon. I'm 45 years old. This happened back in 1990. I'm driving my friend from Long Island, NY, out to Tucson, Arizona. I'm coming through the mountains into Alamogordo, New Mexico, and this dog comes out, and I'm like, I'm gonna hit him. So I stopped the truck. I'm pulling a trailer. I'm driving a Toyota pick-up with a U-Haul trailer. This dog comes up to the driver's side door. Now I know I had plenty of rest because I'm sleeping during the day, and my friend is driving during the day. I drive all night. I wake my buddy up. "Darren, wake up! Look at this!'
The dog had short front legs, like a Dingo. The eyes were glowing! Dingos are indigenous to Australia. They're not in the southwest, out in the desert. Anyway, it comes up. I rolled my window down a little bit, and I thought that something wasn't right. So I locked the door. I pushed the button down with my elbow because I'm left-handed. I hit the door, and I reach over with my right hand and roll the window up. It scratched on the window, and then it was literally trying to open the door. It stood up. He stood up on his hind legs, back hind legs, and was literally trying to lift the door handle like it knew what it was doing.
I'm yelling, 'Darren, wake up!' He looked over and he said, "What the hell is that?" I put the truck in first gear. We were on a hill going up. I'm like, "I don't know what the hell that was, but that was crazy." It had reached and tried to open the door of the truck. If I didn't lock it in time, he probably would have opened the door.
I'll never forget it. Craziest thing.” B
