That story brought tears to my eyes. What a great dog! My Ozzy is definitely my protector but he's never done anything like that; thankfully I've never been in that kind of situation. But he does guard the house, ESPECIALLY when I'm home alone. We got him to keep me company while my husband was deployed and he takes it very seriously. He can usually be found between me and the door of whatever room we're in. It bothers our neighbors that he barks when someone 9even them) come in our yard but that's his job and we wouldn't have it any other way. Animals are fantastic.

Your dog is a wee hero!

My 1 kitty is a brave but foolish hero!

A couple of days ago at 2am I hear a noise in the back garden, as I make my way to the window my cat is up the window growling like a dog at the "intruders" The intruders were a copper and his dog searching for a burglar that had run into my garden. The helicopter was buzzing overhead and at first I thought the bloke in my garden, 3 foot from my window was whoever the heli was looking for...pretty scary at the time but funny looking back. Dog and handler had jumped my 6ft fence and probably had wet feet after going thru the paddling pool full of water!

My kitty was hand reared by me from an hour old and is very attached to me, very protective but not the largest cat in the world!
