Let's talk about dogs.
As the old platitude goes, dogs are a man's best friend, and this proves generally true. So long as you keep them fed and stay around them, they'll love you unconditionally in a way that even your mom won't. They come in a variety of sizes, and they're fun to look at. The small dogs are something of a novelty, but great for tight spaces and catching rabbits. These days however, we call them lapdogs. Large dogs are marvelous. They're a stunning sight, and make for extremely reliable protection.
Consider the following scene: a heroin addict stalks the streets of some impersonally large suburb. His goal; a target to shank and relieve of a purse. It's around 10 PM, and enough of the houses are dark that he might get away with it if he gets the drop on someone.
But if everyone is walking a dog? Then he'll somehow have to subdue the person as well as the animal, and that's tough. The dog will spring to action, probably biting him badly on one of his limbs, and that makes things tough doesn't it? For an uncoordinated criminal, a dog is a flawless deterrent. You can't stab both of them at once, and no matter which you pick first, you're out of luck. If you go for the dog first, you'll now have to deal with an alert human, who can run away, call the police, or simply shout for help. And that's if you don't get too badly lacerated by the dog.
And besides, dogs are hard to fight. The hotel scene in Tsukihime doesn't do them justice, since a random drug addict has likely never practiced serious fighting. The ideal course of action is to somehow catch one by surprise, but how are you going to do that? They're tremendously suspicious. You'll see them turning to watch you even if you're just walking by. They only look away once you're too far to be a threat, so any direct approach is doomed to fail. Bark, bark, bite.
Remember, they're fast, they're covered in sharp bits, and they'll probably not stop if you seem like danger.
There are numerous cases in which dogs have protected their owners from harm, whether at home or outside. They're also an early warning system if you keep them outside at night. The slightest disturbance, and they'll bark without stopping. That's why they're great to have around. If they're well disciplined, they'll neither be too anxious nor too lax, and your home will maintain a perfectly adequate level of security.
We've been keeping them for thousands of years at this point, and it's easy to see why.

He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

Spoiler:
I don't like dogs.

Dogs are actually easy to fight. Just be ready to trade an arm for an easy win. Be fast enough and you don't even lose your arm.
