As soon as you bring a dog home, your house becomes their territory, and dogs don’t take kindly to strangers trespassing on their territory. No matter if they’re big or small, a dog will fiercely guard your house against intruders.
This video shows a great example of how loyal dogs are and how hard they work to protect their homes. The video begins by showing security camera footage of a burglar creeping through a backyard. He looks around, making sure nobody sees him.
Once he thinks the coast is clear, he heads towards the house. For a second, nothing happens. But then, the burglar bolts out of the house and over the fence, clearly terrified. And the thing that scared him half to death? A tiny Yorkie named Scamp.

After the burglar runs away, Scamp stands next to the fence and barks until he’s sure that the burglar is gone. Then he heads back into his house, probably to continue the nap that the burglar rudely interrupted.
The burglar was later caught, thanks in part to Scamp’s hard work. We’re sure Scamp’s owner gave him lots of treats and belly rubs to thank him for being such a great guard dog. Check out the dramatic standoff between a burglar and a determined Yorkie in the video below!
John counted about five or six coyotes inside the pen with Casper and Daisy being the only thing separating them from the sheep.

There were several more coyotes in the area. John tried to find a solution to his problem but there was one thing he noticed.
“I wasn’t really afraid they were going to attack me or anything,” John said. “But they weren’t responding [to me], they were focused on Casper I think more than anything.”
The coyotes jumped out of the pen and ran off, splitting in different directions. Casper wasn’t going to let them get away with what they did and he ran after them.
He caught up to them at the embankment of the creek near their home where he fought with the coyotes.
That’s when Casper disappeared.

John was grateful to Casper because he killed eight coyotes that night, but he was concerned about Casper disappearing more than the coyotes. He needed to find him.
“…We thought we could find him, we thought he must have been killed and so we were looking for him,” John said. “If he wasn’t killed, we figured he was hurt, we knew he was hurt, because we found parts of his tail and blood and other things, so we were worried about him.”

The search continued the next day.
In their search, that’s where they discovered the dead coyotes. Casper is one tough dog!
Unfortunately, they did not find Casper that day, further solidifying the thought that he might also have been killed in the fight.
He showed up in the pen, banged up but alive and checking in on his herd.
“He looked like death, I mean he looked terrible,” John shared. “He came back home and he just kind of looked at me like ‘boss stop looking at how bad I look, just take care of me.'”
