Anyone who has tried to come down our road without being noticed will tell you it is nigh on impossible.
The first guardians of the Calle are the two dogs opposite. They know instinctively who lives here and who doesn't and will let you know which group you belong to. The message is then passed on to the dog next door but one down the road and relayed to the two "boys" across the road. Finally the team of Yorkies at the house at the bottom of the road will have their say.
By the time you reach the park, everyone on the street knows of your presence.
A few years ago we had a meeting about security. At that meeting our neighbour Aurelio suggested that having at least two dogs was the best defence you could provide for your house. He said you'd need a small dog like a terrier with sharp hearing and a yappy bark and a large dog like an Alsation to provide deterrent.
That is exactly what he has - a little terrier and two German Shepherds. It must work because, whilst he says a couple of people have managed to scale his wall, none have actually broken in to his house. With two German Shepherds baring their teeth at them, it's no surprise that would be thieves have failed.
