All we can do, given the existence of the bad relationship between the parents, is to look for ways to
minimize additional harms, and to not make an already bad situation worse.
And, there's an
additional bonus: not only will you have a monitored alarm system but you will also receive the peace of mind of early detection in the case of any smoke, fire, flooding or other emergencies in your home so that you can react quickly and
minimize any permanent damage while also keeping your dog safe from
harm.
