Responding to Rex's post for a story about Winston........
Nancy and I got home from work in Dallas, and our friend, David, from across the road was over here immediately...and he had a story to tell us about Winston.
Apparently an undercover drug buy in Denison went bad, and the druggie fled from the cops. He came down DeVoigne Rd. at high speed to Dripping Springs. There were six police and deputy vehicles chasing him from Denison....sirens on full blast. He pulled into the house behind ours, which was the guy the druggie used to work for. All six cop cars came in right behind him....sirens and lights still going.
David heard the sirens and the commotion and quickly came over to our property. By then, it was over with. The cops had this guy in cuffs leading him out of the pasture next our place.
David knew one of the deputies, and asked him what was going on. The druggie had pulled his car in behind the house behind us and bailed out. According to the deputy, he was trying escape on foot by running through the pasture, which had waist high grass growing. All of a sudden, the druggie just disappeared.
David asked him how that happened. The deputy pointed at Winston......and said "That dog ran up out of nowhere, and just took him down. When we caught up, the dog left.
Like I said, Winston had an uncanny ability to reason things out.
