- A Golden Retriever in San Diego is going viral for his hilarious reaction to a home intruder. Dante Rowley and his fiancée watched in real-time from their Ring cameras on a flight out of Chicago as a burglar used a ladder to enter an open upstairs window of their home. Instead of barking or chasing the man away, their four-year-old dog Nash happily greeted the intruder, repeatedly bringing him toys and wagging his tail in hopes of a playdate. The burglar ignored Nash, opting instead to raid the fridge for a snack and take a nap. When police officers finally entered the home, Nash greeted them with the same friendly tail wags. The suspect attempted to escape, breaking a few outdoor pots in the process, but was quickly apprehended. Nothing major was stolen, and Nash the dog remained safe and completely oblivious to the danger.
