It’s the stuff nightmares are made of. A burglar in your backyard, and you’re not home to chase him away! It happened in South Africa one November afternoon. Fortunately, the people who own the house have a surveillance system set up to videotape what’s going on at their house. But they also have something even better!
This burglar thinks he’s got it made, strolling around in their backyard, looking for something to steal. At first, he wanders around the yard, just looking things over.

Completely at ease, he “cases the joint” to see if this is going to be a lucrative day for him.
Standing with his hands behind his back, he doesn’t think he has anything to worry about.
But what’s this? Suddenly, the bad guy has decided to retreat, making a beeline dash for the fence …
... and vaulting over it. What in the world has put him into flight mode?
It’s a miniature burglar defense mechanism! Little Scamp, a tiny dog with a ferocious bark, gives chase, and the bad guy isn’t staying around to find out if his bite is as bad as his bark.
When Scamp’s on patrol, there’s little chance that the bad guys will have much success stealing from this home!
Thanks to the scrappy little dog and his commitment to keep his property safe, the burglar’s intent was stymied.
And thanks to the backyard video, the perp was caught a short time later, and justice has been served. What about you? How do you protect your own property? After watching this video, which do you think is better? A video camera or a four-legged disincentive?
