I happen to be fond of my dog.
“A cell phone by your bedside was way better than a gun because a cop would only be minutes away
I happen to be fond of my dog.”
Dogs are warning systems, not weapon systems.
May I suggest the “Telescopic Dog” - it barks here and bites over there. Telescopic Dog dog food is compact, easily stored, has a shelf life measured in decades, and is easily converted into hard goods, foods, services, even peace, quiet, and solitude.

I have two, one’s an 85 lb. Pitador who sleeps with me. The other, a 105 lb. Great Dane, sleeps on the living room couch. Pretty good protection and neither’s a four footed lawsuit waiting to happen.
