If he tried that on my house I'd have used any means to eject the *&^%er, not let him walk around the place looking into private things. Would I have been within my rights to defend my property with force? I think I would be. Why is this guy not being prosecuted and sued to within an inch of his pond life?

I wouldn't put my dogs at that risk. The DDA can now cover "attacks" made by your dog in your own home.

Our Hounds would overwhelm him with lurve,
