Max, the loyal family Rottweiler, let out another low, rumbling growl that vibrated through the floorboards.
The powerful animal kept its heavy paw firmly planted on Chad’s chest, preventing the panicked intruder from moving an inch.

“I’m calling 911 right now, Sarah; just stay completely still and focus on your breathing,” Lucas instructed urgently.
He pulled his smartphone from his pocket with one hand while keeping a watchful eye on the cornered man.
Chad struggled against the dog, kicking his legs uselessly against the expensive rug as he cursed under his breath.
