His name is Pinto and everytime I walk through the courtyard he barks at me. No, more precisely, his gullet opens and spews such hellfire abuse from bowel to fangs as befitting the gates of hell. With goat like eyes fixed on my pink throat, and cloven paws tearing uselessly at the pavement, he strains against the chain until standing nearly upright and choking for breath. I fear the day I learn enough Spanish to understand what he´s saying.
He lives in an unseen alcove behind the car. In the narrow courtyard it´s not possible to tell if he´s chained or not until he´s nearly on you. I hear him before I see him, charging from behind the car. I try my best to continue walking calmly, but everytime he takes a few more steps than I expect, gets a little closer than I thought possible, and everytime I jump.

You clearly need to get all Dog Whisperer on him.
And he looks so cute in that picture. I bet he makes makes you miss how nice Percy is to you. Maybe he is bizarro Percy?

I like his "Puppy's Best Granite Slab" toy in the background, much gnawed. -JEK
For heaven's sake, throw him one of those mucha cookies. That's what all dogs really want. Tia-ee
He looks like Satan's pit bull. Does he act that way with everyone? Suggest you not look at him while passing thru courtyard. Or maybe he'll devour those cookies and forget about you! Ellie
Ha! jek, that granite slab is his favorite toy. He especially likes to stand on it to bark at me when I start going up the stairs.
I tried to get a picture of him barking, but the demon thwarted me. I even tried some of his favorite games, like Peter-goes-to-brush-his-teeth, but as soon as he saw that camera he was all Mr. Innocent.
He does look quite charming in the picture. He must've known your plot to out him as the devil and refrained from said behavior in front of the lens. Smart pup.
I can´t believe some of you think he looks CUTE! "Charming" Heather says! Bah! Don´t be fooled. He´s got the devil in his eyes. Look at him, laughing at me! No, I dont need to calm down. See how he taunts me! Where are you taking me? He´s the devil I tell you! HE´S the one you should be locking up! He´ll kill you all!!!
