WATERTOWN, S.D. (AP) - Watertown police say two dogs left inside a pawn shop thwarted a burglary.

The would-be thief broke a window at Lester’s Gun and Pawn to gain entry early Tuesday, only to be confronted by the dogs.

Police say the man punched the dogs to get away, and fled the business empty-handed.
