Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want to know a little bit about your pet. Okay,
if you've got a patter, if you had one in
the past, Like I think about my childhood dog that
passed away and I miss her like crazy.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Your name was Lily.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Think about her a lot, and I thought about her
when I read this story, and I want to know
about your pet two eight hundred four and nine ninety
three ninety three. If an armed robbery happened in your home,
what would your animal do? Because you know, like I

(00:33):
feel like people have like pit bulls and stuff for protection,
Like I I know multiple people with those dogs. Like
what are they called the fighter dogs or something like
that or fighting break whatever. Well, no, but they're like
they're they're angry or something like that. But then everyone
always like, well, my dog's not and they're such sweethearts.

(00:55):
And then you meet the dog and like they actually
but they actually are sweethearts, like so many like pit bulls,
they're so nice, And then I wonder, like are they
too nice? Like what happens if an armed robbery were
to happen in they're like my dog Lily would just
lick them and be like, Hi, welcome into the house.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Let me take you where.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
I love you Hi, I love you Hi. It's like
the dog from up Squirrel. What would your pet do?
Because there were two men that were posing as perfume
salesmen and they showed up to a Houston apartment and

(01:36):
they would act like they were selling the perfume. And
the next thing, you know, right before the door would open,
they'd throw on masks and they would rob people at
a gunpoint.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Pretty scary, right, So.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
This woman who is the victim, gets a gun point
out and the people are like, give me all your
valuables and whatnot. And when she goes to get the valuables,
her cat jumps out and attacks the people. Those people

(02:16):
had to run away from the cat.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
You hit it?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
A cat? Did it all the mess? We be talking
about cats? Look at them mill oo cat. Now the
cat unfortunately did get hit. The cat is okay cause
the cat get now laves exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
So unfortunately lost one line. It's got eight more lives
to go. But the cat, the cat protected and did
what I would think a dog would do. I didn't
know that cats would do this as well. Like how
awesome is that? So eight hundred and four O nine
ninety three ninety three. That cat did that. I'm convinced
my childhood dog would have just licked them. I had

(02:54):
a doverman before that who was so protective of me. Specifically,
they had to get rid of Murphy, gave him to
another family member because when my brother Jacob was born,
he didn't like that Jacob was getting attention, so he
did not like Jacob. There's pictures of me. I would
ride him like a horse. Sis, seriously, I'll have my
mom send him. And that was my dog. I like

(03:16):
to think that Murphy would have protected me. Jamie, you
have four dogs. What would happen? One more time? Houston
apartment robbed? This woman was saved by her cat. You
have four dogs? You have any dogs that would.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Protect probably Domino Domino would Domon. Domino is a multie dog,
so he's a small dog, but she is very antisocial.
So I took him out twice because I can't take
him out in public. I took him out one time
the floor in the corn for because I went for
my dad and this guy tried petting him and I

(03:50):
was holding him and Domino literally growled and tried to
bite him.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Really and when that happens, are you getting freaked out
because if dom no bites and what do you got
to you got to I have to.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
I have to hold his mouth. I have to hold him. Yeah.
And then the second time, we're at Walmart going Christmas
shopping for the Christmas tree, and there was an old
lady passing by. It's just like in her eighties, and
he's like, Oh, he's so cute. And then Domino's in
the cart. You all your ear is like, he's gonna
freaking growl hotter and I literally he's very anti social.

(04:29):
I can't take him out nowhere. But the other three
they have no problem. They'll lick you, they'll suck on
your arm, like like they're just innocent animals.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
So the other three would invite the robbers in and
then Domino would come to the rescue.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, Domino is just a little spur ball of anger.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
I love it. I love it. Jamie, You're the best.
Thank you for calling in. I hope you have a beautiful,
beautiful rest of your day. Hey, Kelly, you've got a
bull terrier.

rescue dogs.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
But I have two goats a goat.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Both of them two really like yep, oh wait, that's
a goat. There you go, that's a goat. Be nice
ye yep, what would happen?

Speaker 3 (05:21):
So the dog is very alert to their like like
their behavior would alert them. And I can guarantee that
somebody coming into my house or my yard would scare
the living daylights out of them to see two goats

(05:41):
running at them. And they run fast, very sharp as
it's so funny when.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
You do that, because my husband's name.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Is Ben and that's what they say.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
That.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Their hooves are so sharp, and my dog is still
alert with them. Any Robert would just run and be like, oh,
this is late crazy.
