The police would not enter my home when a guy broke in and Zelda my great dane was guarding the house and blocked the crook in the bathroom till I got home and got her. I am happy they waited. She might have guarded the house from the police. LOL. Good girl! I was armed myself as we all entered the house. They looked at me funny walking up with a 45 in hand but I have my permit with me always. She started wagging her tail when she saw me and got her out we they went in. Took his but off to jail and locked him up.
I am sure a fire would have been a different story. Real question is would they have gotten my snakes out?
