Using an ATM alone is risky these days, especially at night. Security cameras, cubicle-type walls, and even armed guards have been set up at certain locations to discourage muggers and opportunists, but there's one defense mechanism that could prove to be even more effective - and all it will ask for in return is a treat.
That's right. Photos are appearing on the Internet of people carefully positioning their canine crew behind them while using ATMs, and while these pups may look cute and cuddly at first glance, there's no doubt that any hand that comes near their human while banking is most likely not going to come back in good condition. "This is a good strategy. I would be way too distracted trying to pet the dogs to steal her information," one social media user alternatively stated.
If you're thinking of adopting a dog and need yet another good reason to, here you are. If you've already got one, it might be time to start enlisting them as your official cash withdrawal guard dog. Scroll down for all the proof you need.

When You Have Security In ATM
Watching Her Back
This is riskiest looking one and I love how the dog's posture says "I'm watching you Mr. Hoodie!"

I am wondering how threatening my corgi (basically a furry sausage) would look standing guard at an ATM....
Tbh, it would make me want to come up to your corgi to pet him/her

I really wish they didn't have those awful spike collars on. It's so cruel and spoils a picture of two beautiful dogs.
Ratlady. I agree. Its only for looks. The dog's are beautiful, spikes take away from their beauty. Not to mention it hurts. Whoever has spikes on their dog they need to have one on their neck real tight.. Then talk.

I'm sad to see that the dogs wear prong collars. These collars are forbidden in germnay for very good reasons.
Both the collar and the cropped ears are forbidden in Germany.

Ew. Spiked collars are the worst. Train your dog, don't just put on a torture device.
Awww, ¡cositas del cielo! <3 One day, one day I will have a pittie in my life!
These dogs have prong collars on! Disgusting, painful, barbaric. Despicable owner.
The sad thing this looks like a breeding pair of pitbulls. Have you ever walked into a county animal shelter? They're filled with unwanted pitbulls/pitbull mixes.
Probably rescued from fighting or being bait. Its not the dog's fault. Pits are very loveable. But if u had a bad life how would u react!

Collar ONLY makes the owner look good to. Watch anyone that has a spike around their dogs & watch the owners expressions. ( they have that tough look)
They have a harness they use that puts a little pressure on their chest when they pull.

I think cutting off dogs ears and having them wear those awful collars is cruelty beyond my understanding. Nasty people.
Why do so many of these feel like advertisements? Like they're staged by a dog breeder or something.
I love all these pictures of the dogs protecting their owners! It makes me long for my German Shepard I had 20 yrs ago. Best dang dog I ever had!
Those are the cutest dogs ever! Other than my 1 kg little cutie. Though he will make a horrible guard other than, like that internet user said, distract you because you wanna pet him. HE IS JUST ADORABLE
very cute dogs, but the ears cut and massive muscle seem very... bad for the dog?
I highly disapprove of docking dogs ears matter of fact it was originally done in dogfighting so the dogs couldn't hold each other's ears and it was more entertaining.... that said it's usually done when they are very tiny and it heals and doesn't cause lasting damage but I still hate it with a passion

This is quite sad that these women have to do this...the fear is very real.
I could sure use one of the ATMs (LOL) when visiting the service terminal or the money automat at the bank, especially when I go there on New Year´s Eve or so I often feel insecure, but our banks in Germany don´t allow to take a dog with you there, except if it´s a service dog (those get access to every shop, every bank, every authority, every public transport vehicle etc.)... 💖💖💖
Urgh... I just saw one of the most unpleasant thing in dog owners world: Pinch collar. And if anyone has the nerve to say it's a training tool to me, than I will say you are selfish and lazy dog owner. There is always a better way to train your dog, who pulls on the leash. I'm so happy that using pinch collars are against the law in my country.
STFU unless you wanna come over and teach my Huskies how to not jolt off chasing a cat/squirl/ anything of that nature than be my guest. However the TOOL is a tool. You use microwaves right? Stop using it. Its bad for evryones health and its just a tool right? So when you think you can "detrain" an anaimals instincs from chasing rodents and b***h about the tools because of harm remember you drive a f*****g car, which is a tool, which in turn throws Polution into the air, which is bad so gtfo your high horse like you're some type of saint and worry about wtf you are doing to better everyones lives around you rather than injecting your opinions which counteracts all the silly s**t you do
