I find that not breaking into someone else’s home does wonders for your health and lifespan

[Alteori]

Nobody has no business being in your home. That's why they are guard dogs

[piratekit]

Surprisingly, you can extend your lifespan 100% by NOT breaking into people's houses. Wow. I'm now doctor of the year for this medical break through.

The dogs judged him guilty and handed down a death sentence.

[meganlouise]

If the intruder didn't want to be mauled then he shouldn't have intruded.

Dog on the left is like "Yeah I ate him."
Dog on the right is like "I didn't do anything"

[Alan-iite]

Dogs giving more justice than the justice system.

"Attacking an intruder in their home" - No. They did not "attack" anyone. They defended their home and rightly so. The word attack implies instigation.

[jadek]

love how she said the dogs attacked the intruder in THEIR home. she’s not making it seem like the dogs are vicious, all they we’re doing was protecting their home and owners

[JonnoPlays]

No sense putting down good dogs for a bad man's decisions.

[johnnyquest]

I hope the dogs will recover well from this stressful time

I worked with a young man in NC in 2004 who owned a Pitbull. He said his name was "Snack." I said, "Jonathan, why did you name him Snack?" He said, "Because that's what your ass is if you break into my house."

Imagine being bred and born to defend your owner and getting put down because you defended your owner

[comment.highlighted]

That’s why a lot of people have dogs. To protect their home and safety. Those dogs are heroes 🙂

[hopepapernacky]

Insane that people get mad at a dog for defending its home. They think they're a danger to society and should be killed just because they attacked someone who was actively threatening them and their family? So dumb

[trentbrownstone]

Poor dogs were terrified when they realized it wasn’t their friend coming home.

[prisonmike]

You don’t put down heroes. You give them a lifetime supply of treats

[brocksutliff]

No pity for the thief, but those dogs deserve some treats for protecting THEIR home!

As a ex-K9 handler, there is a *HUGE* difference in a dog biting someone extrovertly and a dog biting someone in self-defense or to protect something or someone.
This is why you can have military- and police-dogs work, and bite, people but still function perfectly in society and family.
Dogs understand home, just as humans do, and they know that it is extremely important to protect. It's an insanely strong instinct in them and been a huge reason we've kept them around. There is absolutely no reason to impound a dog that has defended a home.

Do not intrude into another’s residence. Basic ethics. Leave the dogs alone.
