Zero is a 9-year-old black Labrador who usually tends to stay back during trouble but recently decided to prove that his bark is much worse than his bite. Whitney Cahoon told KSTU that she was surprised to see Zero jump into action when someone tried to steal a package from their front porch. According to Cahoon, Zero is frightened by a lot things including dusters, plastic bags and cats. But, apparently, he isn’t afraid to protect his family. The dog was caught on the doorbell camera chasing after a person who appears to take something from the family’s front porch. After Zero bolted toward the person, the person ran toward a getaway car and eventually threw the package back to the dog. “I just kind of yelled, 'Get 'em, Zero. Get 'em!” Cahoon said. “He just went for it. It was awesome.”Cahoon said the package contained a $4 dimmer switch from Ikea. She also mentioned their neighborhood has had issues with packages disappearing from porches.She hopes Zero’s actions is prompting the person to spread the word that her house isn’t to be messed with. "I’m hoping the word spreads from them not to mess with us,” Cahoon said.
