- Medford police Lt. Mike Moran said Peoples used a folding knife to cut through a screen on an open kitchen window and enter the home. Police believe Gillespie acted as a "lookout" during the burglary, Moran said.
Peoples allegedly walked to a bedroom where the home’s residents slept and opened the door. Little did he know that Cassie, a diminutive 4-year-old black cocker spaniel, was prepared to protect her owners.
"She’s actually a very timid dog, which makes this so funny," said Cassie’s owner. "I mean, she’s afraid of her own shadow."
The woman was able to laugh about the burglary on Wednesday afternoon, but admitted it was "terrifying at the time."
"We’ve been treating (Cassie) all day long — calling her our hero," she said. "We’re going to start calling her a ‘pit cocker.’"
