The Night Watchdog On Duty

In the early and mid 20th centuries, guard dogs did the job of human guards of the store. This picture is from Macy’s department store in New York City, 1954. Dogs were put in the store because of their loud barks if someone clever ever tried to steal something. Dobermann Pinschers and German Shepherd were their first choice because of their nature of being sweet and sharp as required by the situation.
