Dog shot three times protecting family from intruder in Oklahoma

A FAMILY dog has survived being shot three times - twice in the head - while tackling an intruder threatening his owner.
When a gunman burst through the door of Roberta Trawick's home in Oklahoma, her dog D-Boy leapt into action.

As the intruder shouted at her to get on the ground, D-Boy ran at him, CNN reported.

The gunman shot D-Boy twice in the head but that didn't put off the brave canine.

After shooting the dog a third time with no effect, the gunman fled, Ms Trawick said.

D-Boy was now recovering at home with his family.

The veterinarian who treated him said he had a hard head, Ms Trawick said.

She didn't know who the intruder was or why he picked her home.

what a pos, and that poor doogy. I pray that he makes a fast and full recovery. As far as the intruder who decided he needed to steal rather than get a job, KARMA. What goes around comes around

These animals deserve so much respect. So many of them go to waste in animal shelters because nobody will adopt them.

I adopted Rosey, she was rescued from a Pit fighting ring...





She's gonna get a Happy Christmoose, her first one with us, with plenty of play time and treats.


If any of you have the means take a ride to your local shelter and see if they a nice addition for your family.
