Meet Hero Dog Who Saves Child Home Alone By Chasing Off A Burglar!
Can Dogs Deter or Stop Home Invasions?
Burglars report that they will skip homes that display signs of a resident dog.
Signs that tell a robber that a house may have a canine occupant include
- fenced yard
- dog toys
- water bowl
- sign ‘Beware of Dog’
- dog leash
- dog house
and more!
“Dogs are a deal-breaker for me,” said one inmate. “Big breeds, home protectors are the best to keep people out.”
Burglars don’t want any confrontation of any kind; not with dogs, not with humans either.
