"I believe that a protection dog can protect you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And that's why everyone, especially those with children, should have a protection dog. Despite the obvious advantages, not everyone has one. protection dog Who wants to have an aggressive dog close to the family and risk being accidentally bitten My wife Suzi and I have four children who were 1, 5, 9 and 11 years old when we bought our first protection dog. The reason for this choice was that although we live in the wonderful Algarve, I was constantly on business trips and had to be away for several periods, so for years I was home with my wife and four children only on weekends. But what can I do to protect my family while I'm not there? We've installed video cameras and we've also tried several security companies. The problem is that video cameras only record what's going on, but help usually comes late too much. Security companies advertise that people with them are safe. We hire two security companies, one after the other, to install their devices in our house (security magnets, cameras, central communication, etc.). These companies often announce that they intervene quickly, within minutes. We decided to do a test to see if it works in an emergency. We hit the panic alarm button and believe it or not, it took 3 hours (company 1) or 5 hours (company 2) for security to arrive. In the case of screams or gunshots, neighbors would have been quicker with a call to the police…. So I had to find another solution. How do I get 24/7 protection for my family?"
