A Night Watchdog on Duty at Macy’s in New York, 1954
There aren’t many things that will pique your interest more than a dog with 9 to 5. In the early to mid 20th century, guard dogs were wildly popular and could be found in major stores to keep their goods safe for those thinking about stealing jewelry or dresses.
Back then, most guard dogs were employed because of their loud, thunderous barks, one of the main reasons why German Shepherds and Doberman Pinschers were sought after, particularly in the 1950s. They were very territorial and they knew how to be mean when the time called for it. The use of guard dogs declined when modern security systems were made.
