It’s a good thing she had the dog with her; clearly the Criminal meant to harm her (else he would not continue to attempt entry knowing she was at home and aware of his presence.)
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are an incredible breed.
Yep, they are great.
I was helping my daughter move once and the movers nice guys.......said you have a dog and I answered he is in the bedroom.
Because the front door was open I did want to have to chase him if he got out.
Anyway, one of the kids let the dog out of the back room, he flew maybe ten feet in the air barking the whole way with his chest out to hit the guy. It happened so fast, I was shocked.
Fortunately the guy had enough sense to knee down in a crouching position or seriously I do not know what would have happened.
The dog started circling him and growling.
I put the dog back in the room.........
I was sooooo apologetic...the mover (nice young guy) looked at me and said, no problem I am going to get one of those dogs to protect my kids.
RD are fantastic dogs, they can get really big but as I said if they can kill lions well they are good protection.
(Psst really smart as well)
