Pity... Saudi nationals are scared shit less of big dogs. I remember the father of my Saudi partner had one in his walled in garden in Jeddah. Saved him from having his house robbed on several occasions. And yes, the Monkeys (a real plague in some area's of the Jeddah subburbs) don't like German Sheppard's either. ;) Amazed me to see a monkey and dog fight for the first time.

****** me, sounds like something out of a film!

A monkey and a dog fighting? Who won? Did the monkey kick ass? Or did the dog just eat the monkey? Was it brutal?

We should be told.

Hahaha... took about three minutes, watched the dog eat it afterwards. And no, not a really pleasant thing to see, won't describe the side effects it has on your tummy...

Now you know why padlocks are the best sold items in hardware stores in the Jeddah to Taif region. You don't lock your trash bin at night time? Boy are you in for a cleaning treat the next morning. ;)
