My dog Blue has scared burglars away before so bark like mad and attack if the burglar tried to hurt any of his people.
My cats would probably watch the burglar. The rats would beg for treats, the gerbils would hide, the fish would beg for food and the hamsters would either beg for treats or keep doing what ever.
Our schnauzers would bark like mad. They have a very deep and loud bark. Possum, our rescue girl, would just go them. They would end up with no tendons & kneecaps. Of course if we've invited someone in, they all just clamor to get hugs & kisses.
Its funny how all animals react isnt it?
Maggy Would growl..Not sure if she would do anything.
Lacy I dont think she would do anything,unless one of us was in Harms way.
Molly Would help the Person or Persons carry everything out.
And..
Storm I think he would be devastated and just run and Hide,He was such a happy little guy he just would not understand the situation.
Having only kitties , they would run and hide, ellie would panic terribly and probably hurt herself trying to get out, she is such a scaredy cat, hope it never happens thats for sure.,if it were during the day, they could escape out of the cat door.
A burglar? That's a very rare chance of happening in my neighborhood, but my dogs would go through the fence and AT LEAST eat their hand off..:eek:
Katy would roll over for her tum to be tickled probably :):love:
They would bark their fool heads off until the burglar talked to them, then they would all run over, jump on him, lick him and want petted.
All except Pepper, who would hide in her crate and bark. Of course, she does that when my brother or son come over, too. :rolleyes:
At the noise of someone breaking in, both cats would hide, both dogs would bark, and then Chipper would run up to the intruder and lick any exposed skin the person might have showing.... a lot.
Myndi would bark ferociously from under the bed! On the other hand, Sparky would bark likewise while keeping his distance - but of course if the intruder was savvy enough to have a dog treat with him and offered it to Sparky - then Sparky would happily show him around the place! :eek:
I've only had Taggart for almost a month, but I'd guess he'd probably lay down and roll over for a tummy rub. :p
I think I already posted about Zoee on this thread.
Koko, is not a watchdog but she will bark if someone she doesn't know drives up. We have a very large front porch where she spends a lot of time both during the day and evening. It has a gate to keep her from roaming. The UPS man, meter readers and Mailman do not get so much as a woof when they drive up. She usually stands up on the gate, tail wagging, to greet them. She has never shown aggression to people so if the burglar spoke to her she would probably stop barking and greet him with wags. I feel very safe with her around because she will always bark at unknown sounds. If I was being attacked I believe she would defend me. A Pit bull attacked me in my yard once and to my surprise she tore into him like a guard dog. He quickly left my property with his tail between his legs. This same PIT was later put down by authorities for killing a neighbors pet goats.
Both dogs would bark & growl. They do that when deer are in the yard at night. If a burglar entered the house Missy the Australian Shepherd would bark & growl & probably walk up for a pet on the head eventually. Baxter the Australian Cattle Dog (is one we have to watch all the time). He would work his way around the burglar & nip him/her in the butt.
My budgie, Philip, would probably shout ''hellooooooooooooo, hellooooo'' and press his face to his cage bars and ask for a ''Tickle tickle, tickle ticklllllllleeeeee'' and then inform the burglar that ''Im a sexxxxxy little budgie, a little budgie''.
All in all, he wouldnt be much use as a guard :D
You know, we always figured our Saint Bernard, Freckles, that we had when I was a kid would welcome the burglar in, and slobber him or her with kisses. But the one time she was barking in the night enough to wake me up - I had the only bedroom on the first floor at the time - I glanced out the window, told her "Barking at ghosts? There's nothing out there, go to sleep."
Turns out our neighbor across the field's apartment was robbed that night! We apologized to Freckles, quite surprised.
