Recent Incident of Canine Heroism
This incident follows a recent report of a pet dog that was killed after being shot by gunmen while trying to protect its family. The dog’s owner said his sister’s boyfriend drove up to the gate when the criminals approached him with guns. The dog instantly leaped and engaged the three thugs.
The owner recalled, “The dog was inside the yard and went for one of the men. I was watching a movie inside and heard the gunshot. I heard my girlfriend and sister screaming and thought they had shot her boyfriend because I saw blood around the house. When we went outside, I saw my dog was bleeding. He was still standing and running around.” The dog was later rushed to an animal hospital for treatment.
