Way to think creatively and protect the woof over your head.

On her hands and knees barking like a dog...that's hot.

Practicing for her boyfriend?

Very smart lady. She thinks on her paws.

Clever lady!
I once read a self-defense book that recommended buying the biggest dog dish you could find, beating it up to make it look used, and putting it by your back door to make prowlers think you have a large dog -- and therefore skip your house! Which would work fine as long as the prowler hadn't read that book ....

In his turn of the nineteenth century work 'You Can't Win' by Jack Black (not that one) he states that as a theif the most effective deterent is a dog. Little has changed.

I'll bet her name is Lassie.
Smart lady. Although informing the intruder you are human with a gun would have worked, too.

Of course, this would all fall apart if the prowler had some vodka with him...

I'm no conspiracy theory guy, but how do you all know, and I do mean really know; did she decide to act like a dog when the burglar got there...or was she already on all fours barking and scratching when he happened to show up?
Just asking!

She was just wanting a bone.

"though what dog-like behaviors she specifically mimicked remains unknown."
LOL. Maybe I should go into business and have my woolly partner "train" interested clients. In exchange for plenty of biscuits and bellyrubs, I will, of course, administer the finances.

you forgot to mention that her husband has to keep her on a leash.

LLG, LOL.
Nothing like a woman who can get down on all 4s and do it doggie style.

Crazy used for good. Excellent!

Thanks, AV.
*and then she whispers, “You better put the chains back on before I do something.”

"Woof, woof!"
"Hey, are you a dog?"
"Yes! Woof!"
"Forget it, I'm outta here!"

She thought it was the pizza delivery boy, but turned out to be some bum.
