My dogs would invite a burglar in and give em a tour...then beg for treats.

Only one gets protective(BC she lived with traveling street kids before us and, I suspect, used to keep watch over them while they slept) and only in certain situations. She loves people unless they are intoxicated...if we pass a drugged out person while diving she barks and gets really riled up.

when I lived in a good neighborhood much too close to a bad neighborhood, we had potential burglars and attempted break-ins about every other month during the warm months. And this is Los Angeles, with plenty of warm months.

Not so for a neighbor several houses over, who'd lived there for ten years -- not even one attempted break-in -- because her next-door neighbor had a little yappy dog.

On the other hand, the night a 6'5" burglar broke into my place, my cat woke me up and probably saved my life.

However, if the cat had been yappy, we might not have entertained Mr. Bandana Mask in the first place.

The truth is, the more you mix breeds together, the more they look like these generic proto-dog breeds.

There's a huge difference between a dog acting territorial and a dog mauling someone to death, one of them being that pretty much every healthy dog will exhibit some sort of territorial "aggression".

During a period of time when our neighborhood was experiencing a lot of burglaries while people were home sleeping, our dog barked a would-be burglar off of our property early one morning. Way better than a gun.

That's my problem as a homeowner. I feel entitled to walk down my street without being barked at, as I pay property taxes and a dog doesn't.

Not saying the mail carrier is the appropriate situation for them to get fierce - not at all. (Even though it makes perfect sense to me and probably to the mail carriers too). But their reaction in that situation gives me hope that they would bring it in an actually dangerous situation. I never thought they would before, but now I do.

And yes, I got a mailbox. Nobody uses the slot any more, and everyone is much happier :)

(And... I don't necessarily share Dan's pitbull jihad. I've known some very nice pitbulls.)
