00:00 You know, a lot of us would like to think that our dog would protect us or our home
00:04 from an intruder.
00:05 I, for one, am sure our dog would not.
00:07 And that would put her in the same category as this pooch, who was content to let a burglar
00:12 give her pats.
00:13 This dog is friendly to a fault.
00:16 I love you too.
00:19 That dude giving the golden retriever a belly rub isn't the owner.
00:23 Cops say he's a burglar.
00:25 That's right, instead of guarding the house and scaring off the intruder, the dog approaches
00:30 the bad guy with tail wagging.
00:33 The suspect is so enchanted, he ignores the basic tool of his trade, the quick getaway,
00:38 and sticks around to play.
00:39 You're the coolest dog I've ever known.
00:41 He even gives the homeowner a word of advice.
00:44 Where's your dad?
00:45 Your dad should know not to leave your garage open.
00:48 After more affectionate pets, the burglar bids farewell and strolls off with a high-end
00:52 $1,300 e-bike.
00:54 The San Diego Police Department is asking the public for help identifying the suspect.
00:59 I was surprised.
01:00 It was a very unique situation, entertaining at points.
01:04 Never seen anything like that in my career.
01:06 You may recall this popular Inside Edition report, "Will Dogs Protect Their Owners If
01:11 a Home Invader Breaks In?"
01:13 To find out, we enlisted the help of guard dog experts, Nate Bonilla and Michael DeBruzzo.
01:18 I hope she tries to protect me.
01:20 With the permission of homeowner Michelle Kelleher, a burglar breaks in.
01:25 Michelle puts on a good performance as he pretends to assault her.
01:29 What does her dog Perry do?
01:30 Oh no!
01:31 Look, she heads for the door.
01:33 This is called flight.
01:34 Her tail is tucked.
01:35 She's actually looking for a way out.
01:37 Thanks Perry.
01:38 Thanks Perry.
01:39 I'm a little surprised she almost took off.
01:41 What about the dynamic duo of Frodo and Dobie?
01:44 Watch what happens when their owner, Eileen Eickamp, comes under attack.
01:49 The two dogs run into the room.
01:51 Brave Frodo gets right into the mix.
01:54 He even jumps on our phony burglar and backs him out the door.
01:58 They did amazing.
01:59 Yeah, didn't he really do?
02:00 They did amazing.
02:01 He goes right in between, puts himself in the line of fire, and then continues to drive
02:06 him out.
02:07 Maybe that golden retriever can take a few lessons.
02:09 I love you too.
02:12 I love you too.
02:14 I love you.
