ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Police are investigating after an Athens woman scared off a would-be burglar by acting like a dog. The Athens Banner-Herald reported Monday that the woman scared off the suspect around 11 p.m. Saturday. According to police, the woman got on the floor and began scratching at the door and acting like a large dog when the suspicious man tried turning the woman's door knob.
The police report did not say what specific dog-like behaviors, such as barking, the woman mimicked.
The woman said the man, who appeared to be homeless, quickly ran from the porch.
Police searched the neighborhood for him, but were unsuccessful.

Wonder if she's house-broken....? |
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting '...holy sh*t ...what a ride!'

That reminds me of an incident quite some time back, when a quick thinking elderly lady was the target of a would be home invasion thief. When the thief started trying to kick in the front door, the lady who was widowed an lived alone, started yelling at the top of her voice, "John, grab your shotgun and kill this SOB!" Needless to say, the would be robber fled only to be found by responding police hiding under a car further down the street. I bet he didn't tell his new roommates the whole story! |
