I do not have a dog (not really a dog person, yet have had one for all of my life until six years ago when my dog died at 18 yrs)
If I were to get another, I would get a Rhodesian Ridgeback.
My youngest was home alone last week when a guy started pounding on the door, her RB went to her side and sat down looking at her. The guy at the door pounded harder and giggling the door handle.
She pointed to the door and just said “get’m.
The dog hit the door with such force she said it surprised her. The guy went around to the back and the dog hit the back door.
She said she picked her bat, looked the guy in the eye (through the window) and said a nano second you are gone or I release the dog.......
he fled.
Next day she bought a gun...with that dog she may not need it.
I mean really they kill lions! why not a guy?
I did not know that about RR’s. I will definitely have to check that out.
It’s a good thing she had the dog with her; clearly the Criminal meant to harm her (else he would not continue to attempt entry knowing she was at home and aware of his presence.)
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are an incredible breed.
