Yesterday morning about 10am my wife was at home with our Two GSDs. Mariah is 2 ½ yrs old and was upstairs sleeping on the bed while my wife cleaned. (the door was closed). Star is 10 months old and was in a crate in the living room. Star started barking and carrying on. With that Mariah comes out a coma nap and the hair went up from ears to tail and the snarling, barking and gnawing at the door started. My wife heard the sliding glass door to the kitchen slam shut. She let Mariah out of the bed room and she made a bee line for the kitchen door. By the time my wife came down whoever was there was not insight any more. Mariah was let outside and tracked the bad guy as far as the fence. Luckily the bad guy had closed the door behind him while trying to get away before the dogs got him. I say luckily because Mariah would have torn him up when she caught him in the yard and we would have been sued. Since there was nothing taken the cops didnâ??t want to bring K9 in to continue the search. I wish I had been home because I would have loved to see if Mariah could actually have tracked this punk.
