One of the most howlarious things is that a lot of people get dogs for "protection," but in reality, it's the doggos that need protection from the hoomans. Most dogs these days are not meant to guard, but to be pawfect canine companions. They're more built for snuggles than defense. We can just imagine what our single-brain-celled golden retriever would do if someone broke into our house: they would probably bring them their favorite toy and then ask for belly rubs.

However, some dogs still have that pawtective instinct. The doggo in his video does! Although Molly is normally quite docile (according to her pawrents), she woke them up growling and barking at something moving in the hallway one morning. After gathering their courage to go and check what it was, the dad gets up to go and check. He gets up, sneaks quietly into the hallway, and finds….well, we can't ruin it for you here! Scroll down to watch the whole video below, but let's just say that we believe that Molly is a true hero!
