My wife was at the store yesterday and the bagger happened to be one of our former neighbors. As he was helping her out to the car he gets a bit nervous about our gsds sitting in the car. He then tells my wife that things have been getting really bad in the neighborhood and he had a break-in a week before.
He woke up at 2am because his two dogs, a female mix and a male gsd were barking and carrying on in his bedroom. Moments later he hears a crash and his alarm starts going off. He grabs his gun and starts to open the bedroom door. Both dogs push him out of the way and head down the hall. He starts down the hall just behind the dogs. He hears a snarl some muffled noises then nothing. He turns on the kitchen light and comes around the corner with his gun ready for anything but what he saw. A man already dead on his kitchen floor with a pool of blood quickly growing and his gsd standing over the man just waiting for the slightest movement from his lifeless body. The gsd had come around the corner and ripped out the man's throat before the burglar even had a chance to swing the the crow bar that was in his hand or pull the knife that was in his belt. The gsd has always been a family pet with just basic obedience and had never even done anything more than mouth when he was a puppy, this extreme action was shocking. The police came and decided it was a self defence situation and the dog was just acting on instinct. The police also pointed out that the man's intentions may have been more than just stealing the tv because he was bold enough to break in a door with dogs clearly barking, then proceed to enter the house even after the alarm was going off, and was carrying a very large hunting knife. The gsd must have sensed the danger because he went from family cuddle buddy to protector with out any hesitation. The gsd is back to being his normal self but it will take a little while for the family to get over the whole situation.
