Guard Dog

Picture the scene - it's cold outside; I'm resting on my bed after my evening stroll; my human is reading her new book. There's a noise outside the apartment; a key being put into the lock; it doesn't turn but the handle is rattled. The key is tried again; we aren't expecting visitors; we have the only keys. Being the protective type I spring from my bed and gather my favourite toy from harms way while my human edges towards the door. The door springs open just as I arrive to see off the unwelcome intruder. It clearly works because the man steps back from the door clearly surprised to see someone in his apartment - oh wait a minute we live on the third floor, he lives above us.... the last time I saw someone look that embarrassed was when I was wee pup and I vomited in the middle of the room at puppy training class.
