conv: I was walking home one day and was passing a house that had been empty for a while.  As I was passing a very large dog came charging out barking very loudly at me. I was walking home one time and a really big dog came charging out from a house at me barking really loudly. Sometimes dogs just bark a lot. Did anything happen? Thankfully not really_comma_ it stopped near me and barked a lot until someone got it_comma_ but it was really frightening until it was retrieved. Thank goodness. I'd be scared_comma_ too. You can't really know whether a dog is harmless or not sometimes.
