Talking Burglar makes the mistake of choosing 22-stone mastiff's home

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1025039/Burglar-makes-mistake-choosing-22-stone-mastiffs-home-rob.html



But it can't have been friendly, as the dog's owner heard a 'scream, a roar and a commotion' from the back garden.

George Watson, 43, had been having a bath and ran outside in his towel, to see the thief zooming off down the driveway in his van.

Apart from a very agitated dog, the only evidence the man left behind was the torn Tshirt.

Mr Watson, who lives with his wife Lesley, 43, and daughter Molly, ten, in Gordon, Berwickshire, assumes Cromwell tore the shirt from the thief's back to stop him stealing the family's lawnmower, which had been taken from the shed and left by the gate.

Somewhere in England, brown nappies sit forlorn and abaondoned in a ditch.

That guy's shed is pretty cool too. http://metrosheds.com/
Is that a rabbit hutch or a compost bin?

How would you know anyways? A dog that big will probably feel that whatever he swallows is like a meat treat. Probably wouldn't even notice it.

There haven't been any reports from hospitals "yet anyway" of anyone needing treatment for such an injury.

I doubt if that guy will have the guts to go to a hospital, probably did a bandage job.

We used to have a friendly little German Shepherd we liked to think of as a nice family dog - until we found her chewing up a shirt one morning. She had attacked some late night intruder and he left it behind.

If that is what happened to him, maybe he will change from a life of crime to say being in the choir. He could hit the high notes better this time with the "surgery"

That makes sense as the testosterone factory would be shut down. Isn't that the purpose of neutering pets, to cure the aggression and wander lust?
