Rocky and Pista Basci
Rocky on the loose
Originally uploaded by squarejer.

Today I found out that Guard Dog Rocky is my friend, at least at Pista Bacsi‘s command. I had my camera in my hand today as I went outside and found Rocky running loose in the parking lot. This time I waited to see what he would do, and he came running at me with ears back and a threatening look in his eye.

“Baratom! Baratom!” yelled Pista Bacsi (“My Friend! My Friend!), and Rocky’s ears came back up and he decided not to eat me for lunch. Instead he sniffed my hand and kept running around the parking lot – much to Pista Basci’s frustration.

Ever hear that brain teazer puzzle about why the Springfield Police Department’s police dog manual is in Hungarian? (If the dog only responds to Hungarian, then criminals most likely can’t call the dog off.) Well, now I know how to call off any dog from the Springfield Police Department!
