That is a good reason to have one. Mr Ed is my doorbell and a lot of
the riff raff just backs away quietly. ;-)

If my dog would bark once or twice, I could live with it. Mine goes bat**** crazy,
running all around the house barking her fool head off. You'd think she was going to
rip off arms and legs, but I think she's just excited about someone new petting her.

This new doorbell seems to have her cowed. If she's next to it when it goes off she
backs away.
