This guy breaks bones when he bites and yet is surprisingly good around children.  In fact, much better with the kids than your choice.  His main advantage is being at home when you are not but I still like keeping firearms around to deal with problems.

A large percentage of gun deaths are suicides. One of the side benefits of dogs as protection is that someone with a dog is much less likely to commit suicide.

The Rottweiler is one of the oldest breeds of dogs, one around since Roman times. It looks as lethal as one of the usual animal stars (except for horses) at the Colosseum; this is the backing to the warning CAVE CANEM. The Romans didn't have lower case letters, but they certainly had dogs. With this dog around, being a burglar was about as dangerous as being a Christian during the worst persecutions, and for much the same reason. I look at that dog and I think 'man-eater' except for the good behavior of both of us. Considering that a dog will eat just about anything that was recently alive, I wouldn't rule out human flesh as something on its potential menu.
