Sue & Waldo Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I was talking to a friend just now and she was furious. There new large screen flat TV with column speakers and surround sound was stolen. Buster their Staffy was home alone at the time. In place of the TV was a tennis ball and a tug toy! It seems he watched them and had fun... The police were battling to hold back laughter and so was I. Good old Buster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply Grand Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Haha, I'm pretty sure Quinn would do exactly the same, and probably be very disappointed to be left behind when the thieves left too! I wonder if anyone saw anything, it's not like you can stick a big tv and sound system in a bag and sneak out of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 We used to joke all the time that Ollie dog would help them by carrying the remote if anyone ever broke into our place.. Ziggy isn't much better, he lets anyone in if they have food or a tennis ball... I hope your friend has insurance... It is a terrible feeling knowing someone has been in your home uninvited and worse that they stole from you. I despise thieves.. I have never understood why some people think it is OK to take something that isn't theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korbin13 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I know how they feel. We have a property fence that goes the whole way around the house. I have often answered the door to someone we don't know with my SBT sitting next to them wagging her tail! Not even an alert bark :laugh: My other bitsa dog is big enough to make people think twice about entering but she is mainly found sleeping in the lounge!

persephone Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Buster is very lucky that the thieves had a sense of humour, and left his toys in place of the TV instead of scaring/injuring him! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Were they his toys? Or did the burglars leave them for him in exchange for the tv etc? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 j, if the burglars left them Buster probably thought it was an excelled trade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Sounds about right. Have always tried to impress upon puppy purchaser that Staffords are "watch dogs" and NOT "guard dogs". Most of mine would sit the intruders down and get them a cuppa, then help them carry the goodies out to the car and hop in as well. However, my current boy's mother worked slightly differently....she'd let anybody in, but woe betide if you tried to get out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrin Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) The only thing Georgia would guard would be the fire. Everything else is fair game. :laugh: Most people don't even realise we have a dog until they are face to face with her. I'm always being told how quiet she is. Probably because between the dog next door and the children she can't get a word in. Edited May 26, 2012 by perrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno would be the same.:laugh: Our neighbours didn't know we had a dog because he rarely barks, only occasionally at cats. So, unless the burglars were cats, no-one would hear a sound.

mantis Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 My ex came home from work one day & found his TV, stereo & video recorder stolen, his dog was an APBT, he found her snoozing peacefully on his bed, vicious dogs these Pitties. She passed her lazy gene onto my Kenny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue & Waldo Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Neighbours saw a van but thought it was the owners-both white. they also heard Buster playing ball so ignored the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
