As I mentioned we raised high end Great Dane's in the late 1960's and 70's. Not show dogs, but bloodlines. This is Dutchess our main matriarch. A huge beast! That dastardly tail! It was hard as cane, and what a whip. When she "got loose" from the pen someone would call out to the neighborhood "Dutchess is OUT!". It was well understood you immediately took refuge atop the closest automobile. The dog made good use of the temporal freedom to let loose with a fanatic case of the zoomies. Dane's can run 50 mph and the only safe thing to do was to shut your eyes and remain perfectly still. That way at minimum you might get that high speed tail whip, as she sideswiped, at minimum. If you moved at all, your goose was cooked, and you'd get overrun, wadded up. Today it would certainly be a lawsuit. Back then someone got skinned up and went home to get a dose of Mercurochrome or Bac-ti, maybe a band-aid.

What memories. Photo is me and my little Brother in 1968 or 69.
