In my experience, there are three kinds of dogs. One kind will aggressively defend the homestead against intruders. One kind will passively lay on the couch doing nothing and watch an intruder carry the house away. The third kind would be content to be one of the items that gets stolen.
The latter two are much less likely to defend the house than an owner's gun. The first kind is much more likely to attack an innocent person or one of the owner's own kids than a law-abiding person's gun is to shoot one.
