Trucker found fatally shot in rig

I subscribe to the "little dog/big gun" plan.
The little dog is easier to care for and manage in the truck than a larger dog, but obviously doesn't offer the protection of the larger dog.

The firearm offers maximum protection, but is of no use if I am not awake to utilize it.

This is where the two come together. The dog alerts me to the potential intruder, giving me ample time to secure my weapon and prepare for action.

Also a dog of any size will often deter a potential intruder, who not only is unaware of the dog's size as some smaller dogs have a deep bark, but assumes the truck's occupant is now awake and is no longer an easy target.

 

I agree with your plan completely. I do exactly the same thing. Don't be an easy target.

 

My heartfelt condolences. I lost two this year. I hate to go through the heartbreak again but went and got a 9 month old beagle from the adoption agency. Best friends already.

 

I love Beagles. What'd you name him/her?

 

He came with the name Hunter. Not crazy about it, but he answers to it.
This was today playing with my daughters Husky "pup". They were the same size about a month ago.

The only thing they will do is block the lot off so you can't park there either.
