Wow! Dogs are amazing, aren't they?! I don't doubt that either of mine would do the same, but it fills me with horrible fear. I'd rather be killed than either of them. I would just die if one of them died while defending me. We have a fenced-in backyard, with an enclosed wooden fence that is very, very tall. It stays locked, both with an inside lock and a padlock on the outside. When I'm home alone, I know Piper and Wilson have to go in and out, and we have a "doggie door" installed for them to be able to do just that, but it still scares me. If someone were to try to get in, and get to me. . . . I keep a 9mm semi-auto near me at all times. If anyone hurt either one of my babies -- I've never fired at anybody before in my life, but I'd do it. I'd shoot to kill. No one messes with my precious Bassets! No one!!

Currently, two Australian Cattle Dogs (blue heelers) own my wife and me. We got these brothers as babes, and can't imagine the day when they'll be gone.

In years past, we had a mutt that lived to be 16 and a cat that made it to 23. The cat we have now is at 13 and counting...
Earlier this year in April, we lost our Norwegian Elkhound when he decided to chase a deer and forgot how to get home. We searched and placed ads, etc., but never got the satisfaction of knowing his fate. He was the wife's dog, and she was walking him when he went for his "run" (we live on a 45 acre farm.) She still misses him, and checks the porch each night in case he finds his way home. Other blue heeler pics have been posted, but here's a couple of Norwegian pictures:
