A California golden retriever apparently missed the memo on the whole guard dog thing. A 90-pound pooch named Nash had an unexpectedly friendly reaction when a stranger allegedly broke into his family’s San Diego home, repeatedly bringing the intruder toys and seemingly trying to turn the bizarre break-in into playtime. The unusual encounter unfolded in Sherman Heights, a neighborhood just east of downtown San Diego, while homeowner Dante Rowley and his family watched the surreal scene play out remotely through their home security app.
The guy got into Rowley’s home by using a ladder to reach an open second-story window. The intruder reportedly removed his shoes and shirt, sat down on a bench in the foyer and helped himself to yogurt, turkey and cheese from the family’s refrigerator. He even squeezed in a nap during the roughly 30 minutes he allegedly spent inside.
But he wasn’t exactly alone. Two of the family’s three dogs were home, including Nash, their 4-year-old golden retriever who apparently saw the unexpected houseguest less as a threat and more as a potential new best friend.
Nash can be seen in the security video repeatedly approaching the stranger with a toy in his mouth, apparently hoping to get a game going. Not once. Not twice. Three times. The goofy golden’s hospitality quickly became a hit on social media, where viewers couldn’t decide whether the encounter was terrifying or adorable.
There's a TV news report of the whole thing here.
