Hurray for your dogs!!

Thank goodness you are all safe, and your guardian angels protected you!

My mum and dad had a couple of breakins - the last one was during the night and they barricaded themselves into their bedroom. I keep telling them that this wouldn't happen if they had a dog - the criminals wouldn't even have gotten into the garden never mind the house, and the barking would have woken them.

I sometimes think I should just take matters into my own hands and get them a dog when I am back there for Christmas - a year old small or medium sized one from the shelter - my folks are too old and too houseproud to cope with a puppy.

But people always say you should never give a pet as a gift

Yeah - I see what you mean about wanting to get them a dog. But that probably wouldn't work out. Too bad they're not dog people. Maybe you should introduce them to some nice dogs!

can you go to the police and press charges now that you have more information about this guy?

That is the same with my nana! Shes had over 3 breakins in the last year at her house.. I tell her she needs a dog.. She knows but everytime me and my sister visit the shelter , see a dog that might be good for her and tell her about it she suddenly doesnt want it anymore..

It is wrong to give a pet for a present.. I mean thats my opionion but maybe you can just take them to the shelter and let them pick one out?
