Why???
Because dogs are their competitiors.
They do the job that police are hired to do but seldom do — prevent crime.
A barking dog in a house is enough to deter most criminals — and they don’t call in sick or have work slowdowns or shoot their owners by mistake.
Also, when they come for *us*, a “pesky dog” will make it harder for them to sneak in, unannounced, during a no-knock raid.
Dogs are historically the first line defense against criminals and marauders.
So, there you go.
