Having a pooch in your home to act as a "guard dog" can help keep you and your family safe by simply notifying you of any impending danger.
Of course, certain pooches are trained to get physical with any intruder or attacker attempting to harm their owners. However, I have a feeling all the dogs in the photos below are more bark than bite — despite the "beware of dog" warnings displayed in their home.
Whether they're more focused on getting some affection from a new friend passing by their yard or they're a bit too small to really make an intimidating impression, they all make the sign look ridiculous.
Take a look to see just how "fierce" these adorable guard dogs are. They hilariously fail at living up to the warning sign.
And don't forget to please SHARE all of their silly faces with your friends and family on Facebook!

This cutie was a bit too quick to reveal his only weakness: belly rubs.

According to the Reddit user who met this pup, he was pretty feisty despite his small stature, with an adorable attack technique — "undid my shoelaces a few times."

The sign makes a much better chew toy than a warning.

This "ferocious" dog must be on his lunch (and roll-in-the-grass) break.

I think the only thing you have to "beware" of with this pooch are those sweet eyes convincing you to give him your lunch.
Do you know someone with a "fierce" guard dog like any of these sweet canines? Be sure to SHARE all the pooches with them on Facebook!
