A dog owner faked a burglary to see how pooches would react…and they didn’t care.
Claudia Snell staged the break-in with the help of a friend to see if Ozzy, 10 and nine-year-old Bear would protect her.
The friend crept into the house dressed head to toe in black while Claudia served Labradoodle Ozzy his dinner.

Claudia, 23, screamed as the fake intruder dragged her away.
Ozzy was unfazed and seized the opportunity to tuck into a plate of tuna.
Next, Claudia challenged Newfoundland poodle Bear who didn’t even look up when his owner was kicking and screaming as she was pinned down.
“I wanted to test it out,” Claudia, of Epping, Essex, told What’s the Jam.
“I didn’t expect Ozzy’s reaction, he didn’t even lift his head up when I was calling his name which confused me.
“He could understand there was chaos going on but was more interested in the food which I expected from him.
“I think ultimately, the dogs can smell a stranger and as they knew the ‘burglar’ it probably didn’t feel like a threat to them.
“I could imagine if they sense real fear and smell someone they do not recognise, it may have changed their reaction
“Me and Bear have a really close relationship so I was surprised by his reaction.
“He is friendly, gentle, playful, affectionate and has a protective personality.
“He sleeps in my room a lot of evenings, unlike Ozzy.
“Ozzy is a more quiet dog but will always be breathing on your leg for food if you’re eating and can be persistent and greedy but completely harmless.”
Claudia shared a clip of the staged burglaries on social media and the post has racked up almost 6,000 views.
One person said: “Bear didn’t even look.”
Another added: “Zero f*cks.”
Georgie said: “No f*cks given, so disappointed.”
Rosie added: “I really thought Bear would do better.”
