[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m always amazed how many otherwise intelligent people earnestly think any random pet dog (regardless of breed) is going to defend them from an attacker. It’s pathetically hilarious.

A dog IS a great early-warning system, yes. They’re fantastic for that. But that’s all.

But your pet dog is absolutely no deterrent at all to a person intent on doing you harm. Either the dog will bark and be confused, will flee and hide behind you, or it might attempt
to bite an intruder, at which point it will be quickly dispatched with a weapon the intruder has likely brought with them in anticipation of neutralizing the dog.

Your dog’s greatest contribution to your safety is alerting you to the presence of a stranger. It’s up to you to deal with them. Because an actual criminal isn’t the least little bit scared of your labradoodle or pit bull or german shepherd.

Ha. Tell that to the ass who broke into my house and was dragged around the family room sofa with a chow attached to each of his ankles. He’s incarcerated with two broken ankles and a string of robberies in his past. You have no clue, it truly depends on the dog breed and its inherent desire to protect you. My German Sheppard we had as a child was effective this way as well. [/quote]
