Absolutely right, a back garden is in fact for a pet 'its terrotory'. if people are daft enough to climb into that back garden,(where I am now,I have a 6 foot fence all round that back garden),then for me the dog should be protected from any action aginst him or myself too.

Whatever happened to peoples gardens and homes being actually private property.
Unless someone is 'invited' and 'allowed' to be there, then anyone else being there is and should be the ones committing the crime.
