He's 11 years old now and he's getting on - getting blind and deaf.

Age and disability discrimination. He should get a lawyer.

Oh, sure... He gets NO credit for the 11 years he was there without allowing a burglary.

If the manager of the pub is upset about the dog sleeping through the burglary, how about the fact that the manager has a room on premises and he ALSO slept through it?

Seriously, a geriatric dog was the only security system? What a dolt.

This sounds like an inside job. I bet that dog get a third of the take.

Say hello to Skully, my worthless guard dog.

img.photobucket.com

I always thought "Man, that would be great if someone broke into my place some night. I have guns, am well trained, and Skully would wake us up." Then, after the GF and I drank 2 bottles of wine (well, mostly I drank 2 bottles of wine :) and went to bed, someone DID burglarize my apartment. The three of us were asleep in the next room, Skully likes to work her way under the blankets and snuggle, so she didn't do shiat. Hell, she might have woke up and went to get petted by the burglar for all I know. Woke up the next day to my GF's purse gone, my wallet gone, and my desk rifled through. Lost perhaps $1000 in cash and stuff (Coach purses are expensive, apparently)

Worthless guard dog, but she does have a pretty sweet disposition. If I ever get another dog, it will be a small, very alert one.

Sounds as useful as my dog & she's only 4 1/2!

Picture taken after I walked into the house & had time to find the camera. She never stirred once. Worst. Watchdog. Evar.

/Hoping that if there's ever a break-in, her size alone will deter thieves

Yeah. I used to work security. Eleven years I gave them. A day off? Never. One night, I swear, I closed my eyes for just a second and the place gets robbed.

They fired me so quick I didn't have time to piss on the boss' desk one last time. Anyhoo, a few weeks later, I got this job. It's not too bad. When the jerky goes bad, I get to eat it. Hang on. That piece of jerky just went bad.

Let me get this customer real quick. Six packs of smokes? Marlborough, Cool, Camel, Laramie Slims, Newport and Salem. Man, you must like to smoke. I need to check your ID. "West Side Middle School"? You must be a teacher. That's a cool job, man. Yeah. I can accept three dollar bills. If that's what the schools pay you in. Here's your change.

Like I was saying. This is a way better job. ..

My dog woke me up one morning about 3 AM with her insistent barking. I went outside to see what was the matter, and she was barking at the police. Somebody had broken into the house next door, and it didn't bother her at all. She didn't like cops, though.

FTA: He said: 'Taz just didn't wake up. He should have been straight down the stairs, and he would have been if he'd woken up.

'He's 11 years old now and he's getting on - getting blind and deaf.

'When he was younger, he'd wake up at anything, even people walking along the street outside. We're now putting in a burglar alarm.'


Cripe, it's not the dog's fault. Sounds like he could have scared away people when he was younger. Owner should have bought a younger dog when Taz got old and let Taz be the pub's mascot.

Better than my dog. He would have helped carry stuff out.
 
2010-04-13 01:24:43 PM
Heh.
Thats why I have a team of guard dogs.
One is a lab, who is big, with a big bark, and will probably lick them senseless if she can knock them down to her level.
The other is a Jack Russel who is the terminator of bark (She. Simply. Will. Not. Stop. Ever.) once her dander is up.
She wakes the lab, the lab wakes me (and I wake momma).

I heard about war dog training where one dog successfully leapt onto an "intruder." The dog then licked his face, friendly-like. That dog, the article said, got an "honorable discharge."
 
2010-04-13 01:37:17 PM
So, how does this guy know the dog slept through it?

I'm betting the theft was done by regulars who the dog knew well and trusted.

Yeah, I'm guessing my 100lb mutt and wiener are pretty much equivalent to the Lab/Jack Russel dynamic duo.

This is them at Threat Level 'RED'.

Your dog is smarter than you think. What she knew is that the burglar was a police officer. They robbed the place whilst they were actually on duty. Then the officer hid their loot and then, they responded to the call of their own robbery. Thus diverting suspicion from them.

The only one who knew the truth of their evil deed was your dog.

I'm betting it was the cleaner. FTFA (emphasis mine): 'They were obviously very tidy because the cleaner had been in and cleaned the pub and hadn't realised anything had happened,' he said.

Plus it still keeps with your line of thinking it was somebody who the dog knew well and trusted.

Yeah she's APBT. She has some quirks. She will flip out and bark everytime a door bell rings on TV. When the door bell rings in real life...nothing. Everyone keeps telling me she's very small but she's 40 pounds. I think they must be thinking of the Am Staffs. 40 pounds is right in the middle of the min/max weights for her breed. Is your doorstop male or female and how much does it weigh?

Max is a neutered male APBT and he weighs about 45 pounds. I also have a female AmStaff and she weighs about 60 pounds. Neither has an ounce of fat on them.

Would upload photo but for some reason can't get it to work :-(

News: For sleeping on the job

Not News either. I know a security guard who was fired for sleeping on the guard and she didn't make the newspaper. Her job was to stand around and look like somebody standing around being all official-like without actually doing anything. That was too hard.
