Earlier today I read about a family that was saved from a gunman by their Labrador. The guy came to theur home to confront them over accusations that they'd made against him.He pulled out a pistol and started firing at family members and their dog sprung into action and attacked the shooter.

Puppy power!

Only dog I've been attacked by that caused a significant damage was a blue-heeler but I've also been bit my quite a few yappy 'bag' dogs but none to serious. Anyway I was about 14 and jogging home to ask dad if I could stay at a friends for dinner and out of nowhere I felt a stabbing pain in the back of my ankle and the dog had me. I was on crutches for 3 months, it was very close to ripping my Achilles.

I'm a bit weary of any medium-large size dog I don't know now because of it hahaha

I was going to post about this but from what I understand is that 3 family members still got shot.

Maybe not puppy power...

I can't help but to wonder if the dog made a difference to how the attack went, like if it would have went better or worse without the dogs presence.. I guess we'll never know and should just be thankful that there wasn't more damage done.

The owner said that while the gunman was shooting the dog was jumping at him. She felt that he would have had a clear shot if the dog didnt intervene

That answers my wonderings. Heroic dog saved its owners lives even if he did lose his own.. Dogs can be such amazing creatures when raised properly.

This is true. We have a neighbor that is completely irresponsible with her dog. A few weeks ago she tried to call our little lap dog over to provoke her dog to attack it.

What sort of moron does that? What could she possibly gain from doing that? Aside from the obvious punch in the face from your wife if your kids were to see it lol

The last area I lived in almost no one looked after their dogs. There was always lots of dogs roaming the streets, many of who were aggressive. It drives me nuts when people are purposely irresponsible with their animals.

She hates us lol always had problems with her and her partner. She'll even let the dog off the leash to roam. Even though the dog is nasty and bit someone. I told her point blank the dog comes near my kids or pet she'll be digging a grave for it in her backyard.

And that's fair enough. My ex told the people who lived across the road from us that he was gonna kill their terrier thing if it came in our yard again, the stupid mutt would try and attack my cats while they were in their pen to the point where the cats wouldn't go in the pen for a month or so because if it, that's when my ex cracked it. Best part was the guy who owned the dog called the police and when they arrived they fined him for not keeping his dog confined.

People are idiots sometimes...
