Barking Woman Scares Off Intruder
This story gives a whole new meaning to the saying ‘your bark is worse than your bite.’ A woman in Athens, GA started barking when she heard someone trying to break into her house, eventually scaring off the intruder.
Here are the details from the Associated Press.
The Athens Banner-Herald reported Monday that the woman scared off the suspect around 11 p.m. Saturday. According to police, the woman got on the floor and began scratching at the door and acting like a large dog when the suspicious man tried turning the woman’s door knob.
The police report did not say what specific dog-like behaviors, such as barking, the woman mimicked.
I get the barking part, even the scratching at the door, but if the intruder couldn’t see her through the door why did she get down on all fours?
I know there must be a good joke in there somewhere, but I’m just going to let you fill in the punchline.
*If the woman had a real dog like Harley he could do the barking for her.
She probably got down on all fours so the barking would sound like it was coming from dog head height.
Or maybe she’s a method actress.
Getting down on all fours is most likely why it make the sound come from doggie height.
Ha ha that’s a good one! Fortunately we have a real dog with a LOUD bark and sometimes she growls so if anyone tried to break in Angel would scare them off herself.
BOL BOL BOL, very clever. Like everyone else said, most likely she got down on all fours so that the sound would come from the level of an actual dog, if she had just stood in front of the door barking, the robber would have probably figured it out, though if he wasn’t caught, and has read the newspaper, then most likely he feels like a real idiot right now.

If A burglar did come to my house I’d be the one having to do the barking. For a Chessie Molly is pretty quiet. And she’s so friendly with everyone that if someone did break in she’d follow them around and probably help hold the bag open from them to stash the loot in. A guard dog she aint.
SHe just wanted to come off like a dog, I bet. Good girl!
That is funny.Our dogs would help the guy if he had vood.I am glad that the guy did run away because this world is really crazy now.He must not had a weapon on him or he would not have ran.
Smart lady! Beats the “pretend-gun-banana in pocket” trick.
Good Girl!
LOL!!! that is really funny. I probably wouldn’t have thought of that. But hey, kudos to the lady who wasn’t afraid of how stupid she would look when scaring off a burgler.
Down Girl, its ok. Get down and boggie! Way to go.
I agree with Mollydog, she must have been a method actress! If I were dogless I might have done the same, and maybe marked my territory too! I bet she adopts a dog soon. (kidding about the marking part)

Maybe she wanted to disable him in the leg tendons if he came in.
