Shepherd 08 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 This is a media release from ACT Policing. I enjoyed this one Dog assists owner during aggravated robbery Release Date: Thursday, December 23 2010, 02:52 PM ACT Policing is investigating an attempted aggravated robbery which occurred on Von Guerard Crescent, North Lyneham around 6.20pm last night (Wednesday, December 22). The victim, a 19-year-old male was walking along Von Guerard Crescent with his German Shepherd when approached by two men. The men demanded the victim hand over personal property. One of the men then approached the victim in an aggressive manner when the German Shepherd protecting the victim bit the male on the leg. A brief struggle took place before the victim and his dog managed to run from the area. The two offenders were last seen running towards Ginninderra Drive. The first male offender is described as Caucasian, 173cm in height, aged in his early 30s, skinny build with dark short spiky hair. At the time, the male was wearing white shorts and shirt.

p_stampy Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Good puppy! I'd like to think my half GSD would do something like this for me if I was in the same situation, but I get the feeling she'd run in the other direction LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Good puppy!I'd like to think my half GSD would do something like this for me if I was in the same situation, but I get the feeling she'd run in the other direction LOL Great work doggy. p_stampy, I know you are joking, but I would imagine your natural fear would transmit very quickly to your dog and all her instincts regarding the source of that fear would come into play. Hopefully . . . . . . :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 p_stampy, I know you are joking, but I would imagine your natural fear would transmit very quickly to your dog and all her instincts regarding the source of that fear would come into play. This happened to me one night. I was walking 3 Rotties in the park and was approached by 3 stoned guys. They were aggressive and I was very frightened. The 2 Rotties who I had always assumed would protect me were disinterested in the men but my sooky la la boy who runs the other way from confrontation stood in front of me growling and started lunging at the end of the lead barking at the men. Thankfully they bolted when they realised I had Rotties with me. I was amazed that my boy was so protective - he was the last dog I thought would have stood his ground.

Perry's Mum Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I am not sure how you can miss a long haired German Shepherd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shells Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I read this in the Canberra Times this morning - I loved it. How stupid (or drug affected) these guys must be. The picture showed the owner and he was only a small skinny guy so maybe thats why they "picked" on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsdog2 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I've often taken my Gsd's for a walk at night on my own, confident that I was safe and no-one would even think to hassle me - maybe I was wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
