I was lost,with my sister,for a period of probably an hour and a half to two hours..and it was pretty damn scary.I was probably around ten,and she was about seven,so she couldn't walk as fast..as we were going through a stretch of unfamiliar woods,we heard something approaching,and a chuffing kind of noise..we could only retreat just a little before it was on us,and I prepared to punch or do whatever I could to save my sister..suddenly a huge dog,like a cross between a saint Bernard and a mastiff,came into view.I screamed at it(wish I could say I shouted a war cry,but I was so scared,I just screamed at it) and it looked startled,altered its path and went around us..we went on and eventually came out of the woods a few miles from home,poor sis was very tired by the time we got there..the idea of a child being lost in the woods is close to me,I know how it is to be scared that way..
