You are assuming two quite unlikely things:
-that lunyou is telling the truth
-that lunyou has the mental capacity to accurately remember what happened a few hours ago
Well to clear this whole thing up. First off I NEVER lie.......no need to lie about anything especially to people on the internet the likely will never meet me. And since you all think my mental capacity is low I won't even try to clear the next statement up.
But, I will admit is was my fault and that is the reason I didn't shoot the dog or even kick at him while he was biting at my foot.
He approached the truck with his tail wagging and a slightly calm "look" I assumed that he recognized me, really he probably recognized the truck, anyway he was calm until he smelled the back of my hand and I was calm about letting him smell me, at this point I wasn't intimidated. I am guessing the mix of a stranger and smelling my dog on me made him decide it was time to put me back in my truck.
THIS WASN'T THE DOGS FAULT..........he was just doing his job and unless he would have jumped up in the truck with me I was going to set there until he left, someone came outside, or I went home.

Yeah I'm dumb for jumping up in my truck when a mad German Shepard is coming around the front of my truck.

Get lost! Go explore!
Had two dogs come at me about a week ago when I was out running. These two dogs came clear across a field, waited at a two lane road for a car to pass, then ran across the road and into my subdivision about 60 yards before they got to me. They ran up behind me then split to flank me. At that point I wheeled around and started chasing after them...it was freaking hilarious to see their reaction..."what the heck is this crazy guy doing????" They ran back into the field but kept looking back over their shoulder with a very puzzled look... I just thought it was funny... "this guy is NUTS! People don't chase dogs!!!"

That's exactly what you should do.
Unless its a Pit
In that case, you should allow PE to greet it with a warm embrace.
In that case, you stab it with a piece of rusty rebar.

you failed to see the not-so-subtle connection between point 1 and point 2.
Yeh, but what kind of way was it. There's the "I'm gonna eat your ass wag", which is slow and deliberate, usually combined with perked ears and eyes focused in on your head and neck area, walking towards you in a slight trot. Then there's the "Hey, I remember you wag". That wag is not only the tail, but generally extends to the whole rearend area and back legs flailing back and forth to point where they're can't even walk right, might even be coming at you sideways.
Dogs just take natural to guarding their territory, but the dog should have been put away inside since people knew you would be coming over. I have a German Shepherd and a Pit Bull, and we are always very careful with them. Never the less, once the GS jumped the fence and bit a guy. We had to pay for his hospital bills. We were lucky he didn't sue us.
Depends on the Pit. There are several breeds of Pit Bull Terrier. American, and British are different sized for instance. The British are smaller, as you state here. I have seen some male APBT which were 100 lbs. My female is old, fixed and gotten quite a bit of fat on her from ransacking the food bag often when nobody is looking and she's 100. When she was younger she was about 70 lbs and very lean.
I'll bet most the people in prisons across the US had the same attitude about the law before they found Jesus or whatever the fxxx it is they do in there...
Irony is...they as in the prison systems take in stray dog for the prisoners now....they say it gives them something to do and helps keep the peace.
Growing up we had friends with a 10 year old boy or so. The rural neighbor (local sheriff) had a german shepard similiar to your discription. The boy had visited their house many times and knew the dog. One day he walks up the driveway (owners were inside the house). The dog nearly killed the boy, stitches head to toe. Just chewed to a bloody pulp. That day I knew aggressive dogs were not fo me.
I realize these dogs were breed for a purpose, but IMHO they and more so there owners create more problems then they are trying to prevent.
