Maybe they couldnt see the dogs or they just dont know a Pit bull to look at it. But I would not want to break in to a house being guarded by a pit bull. May be it was not the shot gun that made them turn around. Maybe they saw the pit bull and turned tail.
WCCO is the most left-wing broadcast outlet in this town. Believe me, if they thought for a second that the dogs and not the gauge spooked the baddies, they would have made this into a half hour info-mercial declaring that guns don’t solve anything.
