In the 90's, someone broke into my uncle's house while my cousin was home alone.
They had a new puppy so she was taking care of him. A man had been leaving threatening messages on their answering service for a week and even left one earlier that day. Around 8PM, she was feeding the puppy when someone started messing with the front door. She thought one of her brothers forgot their key, but before she could reach the door, someone broke it open. She ran upstairs just as the man came in, leaving the puppy downstairs.
She locked herself in her room and heard the puppy barking and crying as it followed her up the stairs. She realized that she left him, but also remembered that the puppy didn't know how to climb stairs yet and figured that the man carried him up to lure her out. When she didn't fall for it, he broke into her room. She had to jump out of her second story window to get away from him, and went to a neighbor's house for help. The police came and searched the house but didn't find anything. At least the puppy was okay.
