Dogs are a great deterrent to crime. I had one actually save my life once, or at least save me from being attacked by an early morning would-be intruder. I like to believe she saved my life.
Sometimes a dog’s bark is worse than his bite, so they say. However, most intruders looking to break into a home to rob or attack will not venture inside if they hear the bark of a dog. Deep bark, yappy bark - it doesn’t matter. Just the noise is enough to scare someone off.
Invaders of a home don’t want to be noticed. They don’t want a barking dog running over to them to pinpoint their whereabouts to the home owners.
I have a sweatshirt that says “when God created dog, He just sat down and smiled”. He had to. He put a part of Himself in every dog - to love us, forgive us, bond with us, lead us through blindness, and even to protect us. I know I have to smile when I think of how Venus, my German Shepherd of so long ago, scared off an assailant with her bark.
But not everyone is suited to own a dog. Maybe your lifestyle just can’t support the needs of a dog, but you would like unwanted visitors to think you have a dog in the house. There really are devices out there that will do just that.
One such product is called a Barking Dog Alarm System. It uses an electronic radar-wave sense control, which lets it detect motion through wood, brick, glass, even cement. When it detects an intruder within it’s range, it begins barking like an angry dog! No intruder is going to hang around to see if it is a real dog or not.
Of course the advantages of having an electronic barking dog rather than a live barking dog are in the long term cost. You pay a one time up front fee for the electronic dog. It may seem a little spendy, but compare it to a real live dog. You don’t have to buy food, pay for vet bills, have it groomed or board it when you’re out of town. In fact, you can leave town knowing that your electronic dog will be guarding your home until you return.
Having to purchase batteries occasionally for the electronic dog is a minor investment. Your yard won’t be torn up, you won’t have to buy a pooper scooper, and you won’t have to take it out in the rain for it’s necessary exercise. The Electronic Barking Dog may be just the thing for you if you are not a dog lover or can’t have a real one in your life right now. And if you don’t want the dog barking, you can switch it to an alarm or a chime. It is just another way to provide protection for your home and your family in these trying times when crime is everywhere.
I still think dogs are the best deterrent of all. But then, a German Shepherd named Venus did save my life once.
