Picture this....(well, you will have to, as I have no photo documentation today).
I just got home, and it's 7:15pm. It's just starting to get dark and I walk outside with Rocco. He immediately gets into his "stalking stance", complete with the hair on the back of his neck standing straight up. I start to think "Oh, no! I hope the possum isn't back!" and go into panic mode. A friendly neighborhood possum had been camping out in our back yard recently, and I was certain that it had found its way back to its summer home in our yard.
And then I noticed the Southwest Airlines plane in the sky. The airport is not far from our house, so we see lots of planes flying by everyday. But THIS plane was low enough and loud enough to invade Rocco's territory. He started to growl, then bark, then jump into the air on his two hind legs, trying to bite it. I had no camera, so you will have to take my word for it, but it was hilarious. My 100-lb protector, trying to fight off a 737, bound for parts, well, south west.
Now if he could just scare the possum off like he did the airplane.....

Based on your other entries, I TOTALLY believe you.
On a side note, that bit about the "friendly neighborhood possum" really cracked me up for some reason. I'm kind of imagining him going for leisurely walks around the neighborhood and casually chatting with people during his strolls.
