These Historical Photos Will Make You Wish You Could Turn Back Time

Macy’s Night Watchdog, 1954

This 1954 photo shows that Macy’s hired ferocious looking dogs to roam around their store to keep an eye on things and ensure that no thieves tried to steal their merchandise. They were considered just as valuable as human security guards and even more so because dogs have a sense of hearing and smell that people lack. This gives them the ability to detect an intruder or intruders. It’s why Doberman Pinschers and German Shepherds were the breed of choice to look after their store.
