You shore got that right. I firmly believe that having our dogs is the only thing (mostly) that has kept us from robbed/broken into, when so many others around us have been. Just a couple of days ago, my closest neighbor up the road ('bout a mile) came home to find his door forced open. Fortunately, it woke up his dog which likely scared off the intruders & nothing got stolen. Bad guys generally don't like dogs...even small ones or friendly ones. I got aggravated a few times when my dogs got one (or more
) of my chickens, but in retrospect....it was a small price to pay.
