totally agree
Jessica,
When I was researching dogs the term "hearing guard dog" probably is what got me into researching the boxer breed more thoughrally. The fact that Cassius is a "hearing gaurd dog" all the damage he could do can be done from his crate. That being said if I am home and an intruder decides to come into my house, Cash will not be the one who he should fear, it will be my 9mm. And before this thread goes somewhere else, I am trained and certified, and know the risks of keeping firearms in my house.
I don't think these beasts broke into this couples home. It seems as though it was just an act of cruelty, however, theft may have been a motive, and they were scarred away, but that is just speculation!!
