Well, how do you think your dog'd evaluate a sudden attack(door kicked in,
unknown men aggressively entering)?

Of course, by this time, the cops are already inside, with guns drawn! (the one
incident was a child's birthday party, so the dog(not even a pitbull, IIRC)
dove in to protect the children, and the cop shot it dead right in front of
this room full of kids!) :(

But then your landlady's not a total stranger, eh?
