Now 44-year-old Shane Swanson is charged with burglary and criminal mischief.

The burglary took place in the middle of the day. The resident of the house was at work and Dino was working too; he was on security duty.

Dino is an 8-year-old Lab/beagle mix who loves to play. But he also knows when to get serious.

"If you come around and act like you got some sense he won't do nothing to you. He'll play, he'll lick you, but if you act like you're sneaky or trying to do something he knows is not right, I don't know if he'll bite you, but he'll bark like hell at you," said the homeowner's brother Jesse Brown.

Police said Swanson broke into a house on S. Floyd Street Tuesday afternoon.

Police believe Swanson ripped aluminum siding off a vent to get inside the attic.

Dino was home alone and showed the burglar who's boss.
