The dog laid peacefully sleeping on the rug
content in his favourite place
but something made him stir
from dreaming he stood up dazed
as it was still very dark outside
noises awoke his defensive mode
with menace to seek he strode!
His beloved mistress was still in bed
but Jake was feeling sleepy himself
following faint sounds of movement
coming from the back of the house
was it that annoying little mouse?
With sensitive ears pricked up listened
a low deep growl came from within
saw a dark shape of an unknown man
picking up the picture screen he watched
at this he barked loudly and ran
towards an unsuspecting human!
Teeth bared he again barked at the figure
making the man yelp with some surprise
falling to the floor dropping what he had
crashing into the furniture noisely
lights came on as the owner appeared
shaken calling the police she cheered!
The disturbed burglar bruised and battered
had not checked there was no dog
caught in the act of stealing items
exhausted Jake was happy with the attention
just wanted to lay down quietly to rest
soon settling back down in his doggie nest!
The Burglar had run quickly out and escaped!
