I looked back at her and she was there 6 feet away looking right through me still going off on whatever she thought she sensed, and it made my hair stand up and gave me goosebumps. I certainly would not want her looking at me for real and going off like that.
For a couple of weeks after every time I let her out back she would run out and growl and bark at that corner by the gate. It's the only time since I rescued her I have seen what her aggressive potential looks like.

Believe the dog, BELIEVE THE DOG!
Something was there!
When we lived semi-rural, two young men dressed in black pants and long sleeved white shirts came up the driveway. I assumed they were from some church and politely sent them on their way. About 10 minutes later my GSD, (adult about 7 yrs old) went ballistic at something in the woods. Full snarl, growling, snapping like an alligator - I saw spit flying from her mouth. I felt very uneasy and called her back to me. We went in the house and waited for my husband to get home. When I told him what happened, he took her on a leash and went into the woods by the house. She went to one particular spot, sniffed around like crazy and was growling. My husband came back out of the woods with a piece of white cloth he got off some thorn bushes. It was a piece of white shirt material and was clean so it had not been there for long. I figured those guys had been in the woods watching the house and they sure weren't from any church. Thankfully, my dog frightened them away. They don't know how lucky they were, for if they had dared come up to the house she would have attacked them.
