I love my wolf Hybrid dog... she goes absolutely nuts when someone knocks on the door. I'd just have to step out and close the door behind me and apologize for racket. If cop was still dumb enough to ask to come inside, I'd laugh and comment on not wanting a lawsuit for dog bites and then invite him to sit on my front deck's patio furniture. In all the time I've lived here, I've seen em once, and that was an undercover op across the street. I called my neighbor and told him about 10 undercover vehicles had pulled up and about 20 men with black masks and Sheriff vests were surrounding his house....
Turns out, the dumb fucks were trying to serve a 10 year old warrant and no one thought to check public records and see if the property changed hands in that time
I went out and waited, cause I knew they'd come over.... sure enough, two cops come over acting all street cool and asking questions. I had lived here for about 6 years at the time, and had NEVER heard of the guy. I told them a man and wife and young daughter live there now and they were like, "oh shit" At least they didn't bust in the front door.
ooooo I like the dog idea, because frankly the min you step outside and say no to the cop asking to come inside to talk, you will be on his radar.
the dog will give you a great reason why you dont want him in the house. beacuse the only other reason you would not want him in the house is because you are being a naughty boy and cops know that.
