Agree. A gun combined with a dog or alarm with battery backup. These punks cut the power to the house before they committed their murder and mayhem.
I live in the next town. This has been big news for months, but the details of the murder were only released today.
As a previous poster said, “there are no words...” The police report is attached to the article. Its grizzly reading, one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever read.
Agreed. A dog by itself, except perhaps something like a Rotty, will not stop determined armed attackers. Will do a great job of alerting you to the attack, and will likely slow it down somewhat, but won’t stop it.
Don’t actually need a dog, BTW. A friend of ours in a remove area of CO, somewhat like the location in the article, disliked dogs. He kept half a dozen geese. Absolutely nobody got within 50 yards of the house without everybody inside knowing they were there.
