My parents' sausage saved their lives by warning them of intruders in the house in time for my dad to get his gun. They are great dogs and the bestest of boys and girls. Ours is probably nearing 15 years now and he still keeps us safe.

My doxie... and hopefully we'll never need to use this in an emergency... starts to go insane at the smell of smoke of something burning in the house. He always beats the smoke alarm (something boiling over in the oven, etc) because he hates the smoke alarm. But he has learned why the smoke alarm goes off, so he starts barking and running around before it goes off which makes him more effective than it.

That's amazing! And hopefully you'll never have to have it tested during a real emergency! Give your doxie lots of pets and love, he cares for you! < 3

They're basically a big dog mouth and bark in a portable format.
