Agreed. Personally, ours is a lab. Our lab probably would not attack the intruder, but she’d make enough of a ruckus that I’d have no trouble finding him for the kill.
I have a S&W autoloader but I actually want to find a cheap pump like a Mossberg. There is something about the sound of a round being chambered in a pump that would send anyone but the most psychotic of intruders running for their lives. And in that case the round would take care of the rest.
