Pizza Guy Sees Dog Running Towards Him At 2AM While Woman Shouts “Shoot Her”, Reaches For His Gun
Naming your pet is usually a joyous experience, your new friend is going to be with you for a lifetime and you want him or her to feel a part of the family. But you would never expect that the name you give might one day put your buddy in danger, would you?
That’s precisely what happened to this lady, when Imgur user AKghandi showed up at her house at 2am with a pizza delivery. Like many folk in Alaska, AKghandi was armed. When he saw a dog running at him, followed by a woman apparently shouting “SHOOT HER” over and over again, he reached for his gun and readied himself to take aim.
Luckily for this unfortunately named pooch, it was all a big misunderstanding. Scroll down to check out what happened for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments! (Facebook cover image: Evcabartakova )

My goodness, I hope you told the lady how dangerous this name is to her dog. I don't want to think about what could've happend to the poor doggo if this had happend to someone armed with a fear of dogs.
Love the logic. The name of the dog is dangerous not the guns. Murica in a nutshell.

These titles for the articles are getting more and more misleading... nothing in this story escalated at all.... the dog ran, nothing happened, dog went home. Wow, crazy!
Welcome to Bored Panda where all the titles are clickbait. We hope you enjoy your stay!

I once read about a man who had stray dog. He didn’t like the dog but the dog liked him so he would always yell at it “Go away, God dammit” or “Leave me alone, God dammit” etc. So the dog assumed its name “goddammit” and responded as such
Reminds me of some old Bill Crosby stand up comedy (I had his vinyl record as a kid). Bill said that up to the age of 6 he thought his name was Jesus Christ, and his older brother thought his name was God Dammit.

Had a cat named Velcro... as a kitten that's what it sounded like when we pulled him off the grass cloth wallpaper. Also had a pair of Siamese named Felony and Misdemeanor.
Those are all great names--Velcro for a cat is absolutely genius though.

I have a cat named Bart. I tell everyone it is short for BartholoMew! And I do the Mew in a high pitched mew. People either crack up or look at me like I’m insane! Ok, people always look at me like I’m insane.
Instead of thinking of yourself as a crazy catwoman / crazy catman, i believe you should think "some people just don't have a sense of humor". (thanks for the story!)

I had a buddy that named his dog AskHim. So when ever people asked what the dogs name was he could reply Ask Him.
I was in the waiting room of our local vets. There was a woman with her young daughter and their dog. Dog was named Dave. Daughter was named Atari. I am not kidding!
Once I met a woman at the dog park who had named her dog vodka. everyone thought she was a drunk because once in a while she'd just yell "VODKA, COME HERE BABY!"
LOL I had a Husky called Yukon Jack and a Beagle named Brandy (yes after the alcohol) I was a kid and my Grandfather (who liked his drinks) gave me the Ideas LOL

I had a cat named "Uh-oh-spaghettio", and our next dog (a basset hound) will be "Pancake"
I never understand when people name their pets normal names. I mean, it's not like they ever have to worry about going to school and getting a job, so have fun with it. My doggo's name is Snaggleface, and my cat's name is Princess Meowzers.
Sometimes “normal” names are even funnier. Our one cat is Carl. Everyone loves it because it’s so unexpected.

When I was a kid a friend had a dog named remix, and was like that's a good name I'm gonna steal it when I get a dog. Now I have 3 dogs and they're named Techno, Trance, and Remix
Not really related but this made me real scared. My mother when I was a baby used to whistle in a way to catch my attention, which that worked couple of crowded times. When I was almost 35 I heard that very same whistle while my mother was in my hometown six hours drive away, I was sitting on a chair and almost fell off. That's how I found it was the same whistle a friend of mine used to call her dog. My mom had a blast when I told her too.
I have the same whistle pattern for my son as my dogs- it's the easiest way to get their attention from long distances

Because of her age we began calling her "Grandma". She was an inside/outside cat and we lived in a duplex. We would call out the back door "Grandma, get in here and get your tuna, it's dinnertime!" Never really knew what the slightly psycho neighbors thought...
Whether naming a dog or a new baby, stick your head out the back door and holler it a few times. If it sounds stupid, try again.
A Sydney radio station held a contest for the best animal name some years ago.The winner was a cat named Chairman Meow.
So the moral is- if you're in the country when people can carry guns, don't call your dog Shooter. Funny story but very sad at the same time.
I once met a golden retriever who's name was Attack. I didn't feel comfortable when they were yelling his name when he was running towards me.
Worked at a groomers so brace yourself... Princess Leia(Pomeranian), Dart Vader (Shih Tzu) Chewbacca (Chow), BB8 (Chihpoo) Mustang Sally (Shihtzu, Chihuahua mix) Ozzy Pawsbourne (Boxer), Will and Grace (Shihtzus) Bert and Ernie (Poodles) Tigger (3lb poodle) Dharma and Greg (Shih Tzus) Sir Clayton Dudley (Lhasa Apso)Bain (Belgian Malinoise and a crowd control dog) his little brother Whiskey...and last but not least...Ellie Mae (Basset Hound) and Daisy (Lab mix).
None of that surprises me. I worked at an animal hospital-we had multiple McLovins, Ellas, Olafs,Nemo's. Most boxers were Cassius, Clay, Ali. I lived in Denver so we had plenty of Tebows and Peytons, and Tulos for the baseball fans. We also had a Sh*thead. Actual name, that they were proud of until the grandkids came along, then it was awkward. People will use anything as inspiration for pet names.

I had cat named Ding Bat, (cause we found her on a hot day under a dumpster) and Whats your name, (Cause we couldn't think of a name for her (mom idea)
I have a dog named “Príncipe” which means prince. Sometimes my friends get confused and wonder why I’m insulting my dog, because I call him “pinchipe” as a nickname, but in spanish it kinda sounds like I’m calling him “goddamed dog” for pinche (damn) an pe- (like I didn’t finished saying the word dog) 😂😂😂
I had a dog named Link (after Link Wray). She never got lost, but if she did we would have put up "Missing Link" posters...
I named a dog "Sick 'Em Balls" as an homage to Stand By Me. That was embarrassing to yell around your neighbor's little kids
When I was a kid, my mums boyfriend (now ex) had a German Shepherd called Attack. One evening he was taking the dog for a walk and the dog was walking around without his leash when an old lady came walking nearby and my mums boyfriend shouted ATTACK! Poor lady was terrified and mums boyfriend had to explain that it was the dogs name.
My grandpa's dog is named Dog and we have a Betta fish named Kyle, our cats name is Moon Pie but i don't think Moon Pies a strange name
I know a dog called Caesar , imaging your dog chasing a jogger and you shouting Caesar!
Had a dog named DOG (pronounced Dee-OH-Gee) & a cat named CAT (pronounced See-AYEE-Tee)
LOL We had a cat once that ended up being called Little S**t.... I forget what the cat was originally called but this cat LOVED my dad and would follow him every where, dad's working on a car the cat is laying on my dad and pulling on his armpit hair, dad gets something the cat is trying to see what it was... Dad started saying this stop that you little s**t, you little s**t get out of there etc... pretty soon the cat only responded to the name Little S**t LOL, my nieces and nephews took to calling him little Bit because they didn't want to get in trouble for using the swear word. I called him LS most of the time LOL My dad was devastated when Little S**t died.
Oh and I had a big old Russian Blue mix.. head as big as a melon called Kitten... a 22 kb cat named Kitten.

My boyfriend and I called our cat Manjo. I'm Mandy, he John. Unfortunately we split up, but everyday I'm reminded of him.
I met a woman who named her dog " Giuseppe "so I thought. When I questioned her she stated NO ! It's "SFB " S**t For Brains
Uhh, knew right away the Alaskan woman waiting for her late night pizza wasn't calling for the delivery driver to "Shoot Her", "Shoot Her" but her dog named Shooter. Was simply a stupid mishearing exaggeration by said delivery driver (for a forced facebook story) of the home's dog that she was simply trying to call away from the pizza delivery guy.
My mother named her parrot "Onan". It's from the Bible, because he was messy and "did spill his seed upon the ground".
This is funny and all, but if someone told me to shoot a dog, I would go yell at their face about animal rights.
I knew someone with a dog named Ninja... Try yelling that one out loud without turning some heads
So nobody has heard the story about the dog named Snickers [sniggers]? I think I saw it on reddit. The dog had his owner almost convicted- because it escaped and the owner cycled all over the neighborhood calling his dog. Somebody called the police telling them that there's a suspicious guy on a bike driving around the neighborhood, calling racist slurs.
Ok I know that's not what the post is about, but I can't get over the fact that it is allowed for a f*****g delivery guy to carry a gun in public! How sick is that?! (And no, I don't mean that you, so this delivery guy here is an irresponsible gun owner)There is something wrong when you feel the need to arm yourself with a weapon that is designed only to kill because every person you meet on the street could kill you on the spot. Or you could have killed that women because she made a mistake by naming her dog...
A co-worker of mine had a chubby pitty mix named Fat Girl. He enjoyed going to the dog park and at the end of the trip, he would yell 'Come here Fat Girl!' The looks he got were hilarious. Sadly he passed away at a young age and now Fat Girl lives with his cousins who own acres of land in another state, but his mom kept in touch with us and now Fat Girl is fit and healthy and doesn't fit her name anymore.
TL;DR- people give their pets stupid names and don't think of the possible consequences.
I had 2 lil' kittens, the girl was called Petra, the boy's called Peter. My cousin wanted Peter, so I gave him to her. She started to call him Peter too. The only problem is, that her neighbor was Peter too, so it was funny, when she shouted: Peter, f**k you, why did you do that with me??? lol
A friend of mine used to have a dog called Pat. As in Pat the dog. Another friend had a three legged greyhound called Tripod. The worst though neighbours of my mother years ago had a black Retriever called Blackie. They lived in an area where there were a lot of Indian and Pakistani people. Blackie to them is racist, so calling their dog this was a bit of a risk.
I have friend who named dog Usue. She bites you sue. Quite crafty name for a dog who wouldnt hurt a flea😊
Ah, also had a friend whose dog as a big a*s pitbull called Sin-bolas (no balls in Spanish) so when the dog came running to new people my griend was like "déjelo sin-bolas!" (Leave it no-balls!)
Where do I begin, had a German Shepperd named Tia (aunt in spanish), a Schnauzer named Debora, parakeet: Pancho Tequila, hamster: Ellie Meister, current rescued dog: Martha Calipso, current stray cat: Pedro.
My parents had a dog name "Katy". However due to their busy schedule the person who took care of the dog is my grandpa. She was untrained puppy so there are some attitude on her so most of the time you will find my grandpa shouting "stupid dog, come back!" "food! food you stupid dog!". Until the day she passed away, she thought her name was "stupid dog"...
My friend wants a dog and ive told him that he has to call it Gordon. Its the only name it could be, my friends surname is Bennett.
My two kitties are Schrodinger and Marie Curie--they're my scientific kitties.
I named a cat Mr. Butters once, because he loved Butter. Growing up, we had a cat named Other One. My Grandpa named his cat Worthless, which seems mean I guess, but he was a gruff old farmer so that was kind of his way. Plus he got a chuckle out of the looks then neighbors would give him when he called the cat, after they retired and moved into town.
surprise Something like that happen in america where lot of people are armed?
Alaska is a bit of an exception, it is literally in some places like the Wild West and many people live off the land and hunt for their dinner. I'm for gun control in the US especially those assault rifles but I don't think Alaska applies in my opinion. Also it's interesting to note the vast majority of guns deaths in Alaska is from suicide not from homicide. Very sad.

The most insane thing with this story is that the pizza delivery boy has a gun. Peace from Europa
I intentionally picked a name for my dog that I wouldn't mind screaming at the top of my lungs in the middle of the night. Then my step-daughter named her French Bulldog who's not trained at all "Ooffy." My dog with a normal name doesn't run off, her's with a r******d name is always wandering around. Ugh
I’ve never heard the word ooffy but it sounds like a great name for a dog! Especially a bulldog.

A story told to me many years ago involved a boy from Alabama who'd been moved to Detroit so his father could take a job in the 70's. He and his family were deeply racist, and this did little to endear him to the community since it was 90% black. Seeing the boy's loneliness the parents bought him a dog, a little black terrier, and the kid being a master of the obvious named the dog "Blackie." And Blackie got lost one night, on the streets of Detroit... Picture that for a moment - a boy with a deep southern accent walking down 8 mile at dusk yelling "Here Blackie, here boy."
My goodness, I hope you told the lady how dangerous this name is to her dog. I don't want to think about what could've happend to the poor doggo if this had happend to someone armed with a fear of dogs.
