For centuries, dogs have served as protectors, using their sharp senses to keep watch. Their keen sense of smell and hearing makes them perfect for this role. Unlike cats, dogs are powerful and intimidating, deterring potential burglars and intruders. While a cat might just watch from the sidelines, a dog will stand firm and defend its territory.
