Dogs are great. Feed them & treat them well and you will get unconditional love in return. Ours are for protection but are family too.

Some people are truly unprepared or grossly under prepared. I'm sorry for the family and hope this really was an accident.
My wife really likes cotton pjs so, recognizing her form in the dark....it's not her form. It's the way the material falls & could be anyone
that is her approx size or someone taller squatting down. I've taught myself when I wake to put on glasses, pick up light in right hand,
pistol in left & visually check for wife. Visually because once asleep she prefers not to be awakened by touch. One bloody nose 35+ yrs
ago was all the learning I needed. I make it a point to never turn on a light at night unless absolutely needed. It familiarizes you to the
shapes & shadows in your own space so you're more likely to notice when something isn't right. We have four dogs (totaling 245/250 lbs)
that sleep within the house. Each has their own favorite spot & will alert to the grandkids if they happen to be sleep walking w the
largest at 108 that sleeps about 8 ft away from me. If a BG is close I know I have precious seconds to protect my loved ones.
Training & practice, you can't do too much.
