Ready for a little story? When my nieces were young, they would play in my yard. A neighbor on the next street, had a mean dog, that he let loose and that we suspected had killed a neighbor's dog. My nieces never knew it, but when they would play in the yard, I would keep a loaded rifle near me and I would watch them through the window. If that dog had come into my yard, when they were out there.....BLAM !!!!!
See protective........
