I thought I heard my wife letting the dog out last night. Then I heard a growl and a thud and Bane came running up the hallway. I got up to look and my wife was asleep in bed with Bane positioned between her and the door. I walked out to the living room and there was an upturned coffee table and a man lying in the fetal position on my floor. Bane had incapacitated him then retreated to put himself between my wife and the intruder. He has never had any kind of guard dog training, he just did what came naturally, protecting the people he loves. I am so proud of him and just wanted to share the story with some fellow animal lovers.
