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.
