Having a dog is the single most effective thing you can do to deter break-ins. Better than bars on the windows, better than alarms and security systems, better than paid security in your neighborhood, better than a big sign saying "shoot to kill policy in effect" emblazoned on your door. Because dogs are totally unpredictable and therefore can't be controlled for or worked around.

And because dogs have scary fucking teeth. Seriously, did you ever notice on Cops that when the policedude says "come out or I'll shoot" nothing happens but those criminals skip right out and surrender to "come out or I'll send the dog in." I know some guys who are not K-9 units but they use the line anyway and the criminals are always fucking pissed when they surrender and there is no dog in sight.
