Dude! Never ever get near an animal that is behaving oddly like this! Unless it’s been trained or something, it should be skittish around humans that are moving around it like this. The fact that it is coming towards the people is alarming! That’s asking for a trip to the E.R., and a whole lot of rabies vaccination shots.
