Michael Petruccelli says; . Get
a dog (or pretend to). A dog won’t make your home impregnable, but it can
make it look less approachable. You don’t want a pooch? That’s OK. Post a
“beware of dog” sign anyway. Mike, who doesn’t have a dog, has a sign and makes
a point of asking service people to wait before entering his property so he can
“put the dog in the house.” “The sign is cheap,” he says. “It makes
people think twice.”
