'She heard him go absolutely ballistic': Robber tries to break into the house, unaware of dog guarding the work-from-home wife, he barks and scares the robber away until the police arrive and husband returns home.

There are many stereotypes about certain dog breeds. For example: "Rottweilers are big and scary", "Chihuahuas are never nice to anyone", or "Corgis are potatoes that'll bite your ankles", etc. Every dog breed has a distinctive stereotype, whether it's ingrained in truth or not. But have you ever heard about a Labrador being a ferocious guard dog? We're pretty sure that's a new one. We were also surprised - but that's how this Labrador is, full of surprises. Labradors are mostly cutie patooties, and that's something that'll always be true, but this one Labrador named Wally showed a different side to him that even his pawrents didn't know about.

A human couple raises this sweet Labrador, the wife works from home while her husband works from the office. We imagine that working from home with a Labrador is mostly chill. Sure, the pawrent will take out the dog for a walk and play with him from time to time, but we think a day of working from home with a Labrador will mostly go by smoothly. So that's got to be very jarring when you're on a work call upstairs, and you hear your usually calm Labrador barking like a madman downstairs.

This is not a story about a dog going mad, it's a story about a dog being courageous. Apparently, the sweet Labrador Wally spotted a robber trying to break into the house. It's like a guard-dog instinct came about him, and the work-from-home wife was definitely alerted to the change in his demeanor. We don't even want to imagine what would happen if the hardworking hooman didn't have her trusty dog with her in the house. Some dogs are born to be guard dogs, but some dogs rise to the occasion.

The husband came home and told Wally's tale to a great round of online applause from the canine community. Some shared their own stories of their dogs saving their homes from robbery. We cannot get enough of this bold bravery. We love dogs so much. <3
