This pooch isn't known for her bravery.
The dog, named Luna, ran away when she heard a man breaking into her owner's Albuquerque, New Mexico house by squeezing in through her doggie door.
She watched from a distance as Steven Candelaria, 24, got away with a laptop, four tablets, headphones and some prescription drugs.
As he approaches the house, Luna can be seen running to the door, alarmed. But when she realizes the man is entering through her door, she runs away to avoid him.
Albuquerque Police have released the footage that shows Candelaria entering the house in February.
After he entered the home, Candelaria stepped over a doggie gate and quickly walked through the house where he picked up the items, all worth a few thousand dollars, according to KRQE News 13.
Homeowner Rick Shean, told the station that he and his wife had just gotten their dog Luna and were checking their home surveillance video to see how she was.
That's when they saw an alert on their security system and watched Candelaria come in through the dog-sized door.
'The first thing we thought about was, how’s Luna? I am thankful if anything that she stayed out of the way and didn’t get hurt,' he told KRQE in February.
Candelaria was later seen on surveillance video in a pawn shop where he sold the stolen items, according to KRON 4.
Police were able to track one of the stolen tablets to his dad's house to arrest him but he has since been released on bond.
