Alarm and attack system in one cheap/free package.


By that you've never owned a dog.

I used to think of it as a free bonus when I did own a dog.

Companionship, an excuse for healthy exercise, and a reasonably reliable
burglar alarm and deterrent. Of course, the best system would be to have
two dogs, one small yappy one because they sleep lightly, and will wake
up the large one and the household, and one large one to go for the
throat while the little one distracts the intruder.

Probably illegal now if it's a declared intention, knowing my luck.

I have to admit that mine was more likely to lick an intruder to death
than attack them, though, especially if they had a packet of chips about
their person.
