Got a similar story at home. We call the path that cuts through some houses near here Hamburger Alley after an event that transpired there now seven years ago.

I have a flip-side story.

As a kid, I had a dog that we’d walk around the neighborhood kindof as a family on a regular basis. There was one spot along the walk where he would kindof flip out. Bark, pull hard on the leash, try to drag me into this one yard. And walk after walk, we had no idea what was possessing this dog.

So, finally, one day we decided to just let the dog pull us over and show us what it was going for. (This was in someone’s yard, so maybe a little weird and inconsiderate of their property, but yeah.)

He approached the concrete deer lawn ornament, gave it one confused bite on the neck, and realized the deer wasn’t prey. He was forever cured of the tugging on the leash at that specific spot on the usual walk route.

That dog wasn’t terribly bright.
