That this can happen in the good ol' US of A is just so unbelievable on SOOOO many levels....maybe it's just me but it seems like, once someone decides to BREAK INTO your home, anything that happens to him is his own fault...I'm waiting for the criminals to start trying to sue the arresting cop for roughing him up (oh, wait a minute, I think they already do that). Hope the dog took a GOOD chomp out of him.
