New York N. Carolina N. Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Penn. By Sarah Rupp Shortly after my sister and her husband married, their apartment in Indianapolis, Ind., was robbed. It happened during the day, while both were at work. Besides hauling off the usual electronics and jewelry, every drawer and closet had been meticulously combed. Even steaks were pilfered from the freezer.
Neighbors didn t see a thing.
They pleaded with the owners of the apartment complex to install a home security system. But no luck. So they got a dog half Doberman pinscher, half German shepherd. It s no surprise that many people get dogs as their security systems, hoping to prevent losses. Yet many dogs do just the opposite costing owners and insurance companies megabucks in medical bills and attorney fees.
