Man’s Best Friend?
Yes, absolutely.
But also this: Man’s Most Protective and Menacing Friend.
In the following piece of security footage, a man enters a tobacco shop in Manosque, France.
He’s wearing a mask and he’s armed with a handgun and he clearly means serious business. He has robbery on the mind.
The burglar confronts the store owner directly outside the front door, holding the gun in his face.
But the owner doesn’t give in to the man’s demands.
He runs back into his store, throws a few items on the ground and then unleashes his dog on the burglar.
It’s a bold move. It’s probably not one we’d recommend to readers because it’s typically best to do whatever a man with a mask and gun says to do.
But it works out here for the owner.
As soon as the dog is set free, he knows exactly what to do.
You can watch him below, taking aim directly for the masked robber, chasing him out of the store and down the street.
How awesome are dogs?!?
They are loving, they are loyal and they are playful. They’re also heroic, that much is made clear here.
According to The Sun, both the owner and the dog left this incident unharmed. And we all know who to thank for that, don’t we?
