Our Sweet Dog

Contribution by Stevie Kirby

I thought that getting a dog would make me feel safer at home, but our dog is as sweet as can be. He rarely barks or growls, and is friendly to whoever walks through the door. He doesn’t get protective of the family at all. That’s a good thing for when we want to have guests come into the house, but it doesn’t do us any good in terms of security. I feel lucky that he is obedient and listens to me, but I know we need to do more to protect our home from thieves and other dangers. One of our family friends came over and when she met our dog and saw how friendly he was, she suggested we go to totalalarmsystems.com and get set up with a home alarm. She has always had one and says it makes her feel much safer when she is alone at home. Since getting a dog didn’t work out, I thought it was a god idea. When I thought about it, the alarm is probably much more effective than even the meanest guard dog. A guard dog can’t alert the police, so it’s probably worth it to try it out.
