<div>Since we adopted Homer and Bob I feel totally safe at home. Nobody would ever be able to break in or even try it without both of them sounding the alarm. Homer is not friendly to strangers at all so I know he would chomp somebody to pieces if he thought they were trying to get in his house! One time our neighbor's landscaper kept blowing their yard debris over into our yard. Finally one day I was able to catch him at it and I asked him nicely not to do that anymore. I really don't know what he thought he was going to do but he started to come towards me. I was in our front yard with Homer on a leash. I held up my hand twice and told him to stop as Homer is not friendly to people he doesn't know, especially men. This guy just kept coming until he was about 5 feet from me. I had Homer's leash wrapped around my hand as much as I could. Homer, you have to understand, is one huge basset. He's not fat at all, he is just big and I do mean big! Well Homer had enough of this b.s. and lunged at the guy and chomped him on the arm. I don't think he even broke the skin as I was pulling him back as much as I could. then the guy starts screaming at me to keep my dog on a leash. Well!! I yelled back at him that he was on a leash you idiot!! Get off my property!! So I have no doubt in my mind that Homer would protect me and our house with no problem. And when you hear him and Bob bark, it sounds like they are both 200 lb dogs that are 6 ft tall!! </div>
