Pizza Guy Sees Dog Running Towards Him At 2AM While Woman Shouts “Shoot Her”, Reaches For His Gun

ADVERTISEMENT

Naming your pet is usually a joyous experience, your new friend is going to be with you for a lifetime and you want him or her to feel a part of the family. But you would never expect that the name you give might one day put your buddy in danger, would you?

That’s precisely what happened to this lady, when Imgur user AKghandi showed up at her house at 2am with a pizza delivery. Like many folk in Alaska, AKghandi was armed. When he saw a dog running at him, followed by a woman apparently shouting “SHOOT HER” over and over again, he reached for his gun and readied himself to take aim.

Luckily for this unfortunately named pooch, it was all a big misunderstanding. Scroll down to check out what happened for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments! (Facebook cover image: Evcabartakova )

I once read about a man who had stray dog. He didn’t like the dog but the dog liked him so he would always yell at it “Go away, God dammit” or “Leave me alone, God dammit” etc. So the dog assumed its name “goddammit” and responded as such

Not really related but this made me real scared. My mother when I was a baby used to whistle in a way to catch my attention, which that worked couple of crowded times. When I was almost 35 I heard that very same whistle while my mother was in my hometown six hours drive away, I was sitting on a chair and almost fell off. That's how I found it was the same whistle a friend of mine used to call her dog. My mom had a blast when I told her too.

We had a cat, older, previously mis treated, Maine C**n named Cat-Doodle. Sweetest thing in the world. In here elder years she only loved loved cat tuna for her meals. Because of her age we began calling her "Grandma". She was an inside/outside cat and we lived in a duplex. We would call out the back door "Grandma, get in here and get your tuna, it's dinnertime!" Never really knew what the slightly psycho neighbors thought...

None of that surprises me. I worked at an animal hospital-we had multiple McLovins, Ellas, Olafs,Nemo's. Most boxers were Cassius, Clay, Ali. I lived in Denver so we had plenty of Tebows and Peytons, and Tulos for the baseball fans. We also had a Sh*thead. Actual name, that they were proud of until the grandkids came along, then it was awkward. People will use anything as inspiration for pet names.

I forget what the cat was originally called but this cat LOVED my dad and would follow him every where, dad's working on a car the cat is laying on my dad and pulling on his armpit hair, dad gets something the cat is trying to see what it was... Dad started saying this stop that you little s**t, you little s**t get out of there etc... pretty soon the cat only responded to the name Little S**t LOL, my nieces and nephews took to calling him little Bit because they didn't want to get in trouble for using the swear word. I called him LS most of the time LOL My dad was devastated when Little S**t died.

So nobody has heard the story about the dog named Snickers [sniggers]? I think I saw it on reddit. The dog had his owner almost convicted- because it escaped and the owner cycled all over the neighborhood calling his dog. Somebody called the police telling them that there's a suspicious guy on a bike driving around the neighborhood, calling racist slurs.

Ok I know that's not what the post is about, but I can't get over the fact that it is allowed for a f*****g delivery guy to carry a gun in public! How sick is that?! (And no, I don't mean that you, so this delivery guy here is an irresponsible gun owner)There is something wrong when you feel the need to arm yourself with a weapon that is designed only to kill because every person you meet on the street could kill you on the spot. Or you could have killed that women because she made a mistake by naming her dog...

A co-worker of mine had a chubby pitty mix named Fat Girl. He enjoyed going to the dog park and at the end of the trip, he would yell 'Come here Fat Girl!' The looks he got were hilarious. Sadly he passed away at a young age and now Fat Girl lives with his cousins who own acres of land in another state, but his mom kept in touch with us and now Fat Girl is fit and healthy and doesn't fit her name anymore.

A friend of mine used to have a dog called Pat. As in Pat the dog. Another friend had a three legged greyhound called Tripod. The worst though neighbours of my mother years ago had a black Retriever called Blackie. They lived in an area where there were a lot of Indian and Pakistani people. Blackie to them is racist, so calling their dog this was a bit of a risk.

I named a cat Mr. Butters once, because he loved Butter. Growing up, we had a cat named Other One. My Grandpa named his cat Worthless, which seems mean I guess, but he was a gruff old farmer so that was kind of his way. Plus he got a chuckle out of the looks then neighbors would give him when he called the cat, after they retired and moved into town.

Alaska is a bit of an exception, it is literally in some places like the Wild West and many people live off the land and hunt for their dinner. I'm for gun control in the US especially those assault rifles but I don't think Alaska applies in my opinion. Also it's interesting to note the vast majority of guns deaths in Alaska is from suicide not from homicide. Very sad.

A story told to me many years ago involved a boy from Alabama who'd been moved to Detroit so his father could take a job in the 70's. He and his family were deeply racist, and this did little to endear him to the community since it was 90% black. Seeing the boy's loneliness the parents bought him a dog, a little black terrier, and the kid being a master of the obvious named the dog "Blackie." And Blackie got lost one night, on the streets of Detroit... Picture that for a moment - a boy with a deep southern accent walking down 8 mile at dusk yelling "Here Blackie, here boy."

I have a cat named Bart. I tell everyone it is short for BartholoMew! And I do the Mew in a high pitched mew. People either crack up or look at me like I’m insane! Ok, people always look at me like I’m insane.

Instead of thinking of yourself as a crazy catwoman / crazy catman, i believe you should think "some people just don't have a sense of humor". (thanks for the story!)

I never understand when people name their pets normal names. I mean, it's not like they ever have to worry about going to school and getting a job, so have fun with it. My doggo's name is Snaggleface, and my cat's name is Princess Meowzers.

Not really related but this made me real scared. My mother when I was a baby used to whistle in a way to catch my attention, which that worked couple of crowded times. When I was almost 35 I heard that very same whistle while my mother was in my hometown six hours drive away, I was sitting on a chair and almost fell off. That's how I found it was the same whistle a friend of mine used to call her dog. My mom had a blast when I told her too.

We had a cat, older, previously mis treated, Maine C**n named Cat-Doodle. Sweetest thing in the world. In here elder years she only loved loved cat tuna for her meals. Because of her age we began calling her "Grandma". She was an inside/outside cat and we lived in a duplex. We would call out the back door "Grandma, get in here and get your tuna, it's dinnertime!" Never really knew what the slightly psycho neighbors thought...

Whether naming a dog or a new baby, stick your head out the back door and holler it a few times. If it sounds stupid, try again.

None of that surprises me. I worked at an animal hospital-we had multiple McLovins, Ellas, Olafs,Nemo's. Most boxers were Cassius, Clay, Ali. I lived in Denver so we had plenty of Tebows and Peytons, and Tulos for the baseball fans. We also had a Sh*thead. Actual name, that they were proud of until the grandkids came along, then it was awkward. People will use anything as inspiration for pet names.

I forget what the cat was originally called but this cat LOVED my dad and would follow him every where, dad's working on a car the cat is laying on my dad and pulling on his armpit hair, dad gets something the cat is trying to see what it was... Dad started saying this stop that you little s**t, you little s**t get out of there etc... pretty soon the cat only responded to the name Little S**t LOL, my nieces and nephews took to calling him little Bit because they didn't want to get in trouble for using the swear word. I called him LS most of the time LOL My dad was devastated when Little S**t died.

So nobody has heard the story about the dog named Snickers [sniggers]? I think I saw it on reddit. The dog had his owner almost convicted- because it escaped and the owner cycled all over the neighborhood calling his dog. Somebody called the police telling them that there's a suspicious guy on a bike driving around the neighborhood, calling racist slurs.

Ok I know that's not what the post is about, but I can't get over the fact that it is allowed for a f*****g delivery guy to carry a gun in public! How sick is that?! (And no, I don't mean that you, so this delivery guy here is an irresponsible gun owner)There is something wrong when you feel the need to arm yourself with a weapon that is designed only to kill because every person you meet on the street could kill you on the spot. Or you could have killed that women because she made a mistake by naming her dog...

A co-worker of mine had a chubby pitty mix named Fat Girl. He enjoyed going to the dog park and at the end of the trip, he would yell 'Come here Fat Girl!' The looks he got were hilarious. Sadly he passed away at a young age and now Fat Girl lives with his cousins who own acres of land in another state, but his mom kept in touch with us and now Fat Girl is fit and healthy and doesn't fit her name anymore.

A friend of mine used to have a dog called Pat. As in Pat the dog. Another friend had a three legged greyhound called Tripod. The worst though neighbours of my mother years ago had a black Retriever called Blackie. They lived in an area where there were a lot of Indian and Pakistani people. Blackie to them is racist, so calling their dog this was a bit of a risk.

She was untrained puppy so there are some attitude on her so most of the time you will find my grandpa shouting "stupid dog, come back!" "food! food you stupid dog!". Until the day she passed away, she thought her name was "stupid dog"...

I named a cat Mr. Butters once, because he loved Butter. Growing up, we had a cat named Other One. My Grandpa named his cat Worthless, which seems mean I guess, but he was a gruff old farmer so that was kind of his way. Plus he got a chuckle out of the looks then neighbors would give him when he called the cat, after they retired and moved into town.

Alaska is a bit of an exception, it is literally in some places like the Wild West and many people live off the land and hunt for their dinner. I'm for gun control in the US especially those assault rifles but I don't think Alaska applies in my opinion. Also it's interesting to note the vast majority of guns deaths in Alaska is from suicide not from homicide. Very sad.

A story told to me many years ago involved a boy from Alabama who'd been moved to Detroit so his father could take a job in the 70's. He and his family were deeply racist, and this did little to endear him to the community since it was 90% black. Seeing the boy's loneliness the parents bought him a dog, a little black terrier, and the kid being a master of the obvious named the dog "Blackie." And Blackie got lost one night, on the streets of Detroit... Picture that for a moment - a boy with a deep southern accent walking down 8 mile at dusk yelling "Here Blackie, here boy."
