The Story:
I’m a 26-year-old woman living alone. One night at midnight, I was already in bed when I heard the doorbell ring. I spent some time looking for my robe, and when I got to the door, I realized someone was trying to pick the lock. I panicked and froze, not sure what to do. Then I had a brilliant idea: I quickly went online on my phone and played the sound of a barking dog at full volume. You won’t believe it, but the would-be robbers left immediately.
