Make sure you teach that new dog gun safety and how to effectively subdue the intruder with one round.
I didn’t say we didn’t have a gun but a dog will most likely hear an intruder before we do……i know how to shoot well too.

Put him in a wood chipper.
I lived on Ave Rotella a few years ago. Came downstairs one night to find someone on the other side of the sliding doors in back. Took sheriffs 20 minutes to show up.
Love my neighborhood in Saugus. Everyone looks out for each other here and it’s a bit more off the beaten path.
Scary stuff. What happened to living in Awesometown?
