Not All Guard Dogs Need Food

Jake felt more than sad when Marshall passed away. He felt worried.

Marshall was Jake's loyal German Shepherd. For twelve years, he guarded Jake's sporting goods store from would-be thieves and neighborhood troublemakers. Even as the neighborhood got a little worse, Marshall kept the peace.

Jake's store had been free from graffiti and other forms of vandalism, thanks to Marshall. The other stores in the block on the other hand, had been frequently vandalized by delinquents.

It appeared that such people wanted to stay away from a big guard dog like Marshall.

Few people knew that Marshall was really a sweetheart, lavishing Jake with kisses every time he'd open the store in the morning.

Melissa, Jake's loving daughter, was the one who maintained Jake's store records and items intact. She would usually visit her dear father at least once a week during Thursdays. She had been aware of the fact that her father was too fragile, and yet, could not afford to buy a state-of-the-art system that should replace Marshall's excellent guarding skills.

She brought her father a gift on her next visit. "This," she announced proudly, "will keep Marshall's legend alive in the neighborhood."

She explained to Jake that the Electronic Watch Dog used infrared sensors to watch the store at night, just like Marshall did. When intruders showed up at either the front or the back doors, the box would bark. And it would bark louder and louder until the disturbance went away.

That Saturday night, two teenage boys strolled up the sidewalk. The midnight streetlight stretched their shadows halfway up the block. They banged and pulled on security gates as they talked about the trouble they could cause.

One asked the other if Benson's dog was dead.

"I think I heard Billy say something like that," chuckled the other, "I could sure use some new sneakers!"

They hustled up to the front window, but before they could even try to break in, they heard loud barking from inside the store.

It has gotten even louder than it initially was.

"I thought you said that dog was dead," the hooligan sounded worried.

"I didn't know there was a new dog there already!" the other punk said.

Eventually, the two teenagers ran away as fast as they could, terrified of the idea that a new dog was guarding the sports goods store.

Like what Melissa had said before, Marshall's legacy would continue, thanks to the Electronic Watch Dog.
