Fighting crime
While you are sleeping at night, full of food from the holidays, there are those that are on the hunt for houses to rob. A lot of people during the holidays actually look for empty homes that they can break into, knowing that most people will be gone until after the season is over.
If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. If you were a thief, wouldn’t you look for a place to rob during a holiday as well? But little did the robbers know that some homes still have dogs that are left alone to guard them. We guess they found that out the hard way.
