Police: Burglar scared off by dog act

ATHENS, Ga. (UPI) -- Police in Georgia said a woman acted like a dog to scare away a would-be burglar who was trying to get into her home.

Investigators said a suspicious man, who the woman said appeared to be homeless, attempted to turn the Athens woman's door knob at about 11 p.m. EDT Saturday and she responded by dropping to the floor, scratching on the door and emulating the behavior of a large dog, the Athens Banner-Herald reported.

Police did not specify the dog behaviors mimicked by the woman.

The man ran from the porch and police said they were unable to locate anyone matching his description during a sweep of the area.
