Beware: I Live Here

At the end of my regular walk, I come out onto the road back into Campbeltown. The first house I pass has a sign at the front gate:

BEWARE: I LIVE HERE!

And below is a picture of a doberman with the softest, most gentle eyes you could imagine.

Now, I have heard that Doberman bark as he runs around the border sniffing me out…he sounds quite fierce to be fair…but THOSE eyes, they’d melt the coldest heart. And I’m not even a doggie fan.

That dog wouldn’t hurt a soul surely? And the “BEWARE” obviously means: don’t look into my eyes if you don’t want to be killed by kindness.

Anyway, words can mean lots of things, and I’m guessing that the owner of this house really likes visitors. I should knock on the door some time…
