I have a dog, and I guarantee she wouldn't wake me if someone broke in. She slept straight through Iselle.
As with most things, sometimes the plan works, sometimes it doesn't.
Also, not everyone can have a dog. Some people are allergic to them, some can't afford the vet bills and food costs if they're on a fixed income, or even the higher home insurance insurance premiums because "your 8 pound dog might injure a visitor." (Yes, my homeowners policy was increased due to the high risk of a 8 pound dog attacking someone)
