An Oklahoma family credits their dog DBoy with protecting them from a gun-wielding intruder who barged into their home. Roberta Trawick says her pit bull leapt to defend her and her family.
The intruder, who is still at large, "came in, pointed a gun at me and said, ‘Get down on the ground'," Trawick told Oklahoma City’s News 9. Then, Trawick says DBoy immediately ran in from another room and was ready to attack. The gunman shot DBoy three times -- twice in the head -- before running off after apparently being spooked by the dog.
"It is amazing, it's amazing that he went after that guy, and that I still have a family," family member Angelic Shoemaker told News 9.
"The vet said if it wasn't for his hard head he wouldn't be here," Trawick said. The family was able to pay for DBoy’s medical bills through donations, the report said.
"I'm sorry my dog got shot, but I still got my family and we still got our dog," a tearful Shoemaker told News 9. Trawick's father reportedly rescued 2-year-old dog from an abusive home just three months before the break-in.

They surely are a beautiful breed....
Great story! What a handsome dog, too.
He looks pretty proud of himself :-)
Very cool!
Don’t wanna touch him.
Willful ignorance might be contagious.
Bump! We have had two strange incidents at our house where the mere sight of our (big, gentle) rottie-girl has scared off unwelcome visitors. I have two young sons, and they are safer with a big, sweet rottie around.
Now that’s a Pitbull doing what a Pitbull does by nature. They protect their owners and their owners property. I guarantee that baby is very protected. What a good looking dog.
Had it been my house however, the intruder would have the same number of bullet holes that my dog had then i’d turn him over to my other Pitbull.
haha, love your name. I have a new 9 week red nose...She is smart already. She was the runt of the litter and I don’t expect her to get very big since her mom is pretty small.
