My boy Rocco 8 months(CC) will sleep in the hallway between my son and any intruder...even though he is allowed in my son's room as he got older he likes it there better..the other really cool thing he does is sit at top of steps and watch out the front door side glass. We had a ton of wind a few nights back and my trash cans got all knocked over and he was a woofing and a charging ..he was so into it that I took him outside to see everything was ok. Vader and Rocco sound alike :!:
