Scariest moment was my last dog, who had a mortal enemy next door. The kids next door got their dog to fence fight with her, and poked sticks at her time after time until she wanted to attack the dog any time she saw it in our yard or out of it's yard, and they just let the dog run loose.
One day we were out in the front yard, her nemesis goes to chase a car doing about 45mph down the street, but is chasing from the other side of the street, county road actually.
Before I realized what was going on my dog was full sprint on an intercept course for the dog, who was getting a lead on the car and setting up to chase at the moment, she was totally ignoring the car and too late to call her off as she was already hitting the road.
She crashed into the side of the car at full sprint, luckily she hit the side of the front tire and bounced off and the only damage was a skinned tire burn spot on her chest.
Scared me to death though, I was certain she was a goner. One foot either way from where she hit the car and she would have been squashed.
She ran back utterly shocked and forgot all about her nemesis.
She later figured out she could easily leap the fence, and chased the dog into it's garage from my fence and taught it what for until it squeezed itself under their car, with the two little girls screaming and crying still holding the stick they were poking her through the fence with. It never came to the fence again, nor did the little girls.
