German Shepherd Fights Off Muggers In Canberra

[Loving my Oldies]

Many years ago, I used to be a morning jogger, but to fit it in before work, I had to get up at 5.15am. I had moved to a new suburb and because I didn't feel safe, running in the dark, I let my routine fall away. Time went by and I tried to get back into my jogging routine. It must have been the second or third morning that I'd started jogging again, it was quite misty and I was thinking about the little Maltese Puppies I'd put my name down for when they were born. Out of the mist came a woman running gracefully and effortlessly and by her side were two German Shepherds.

I thought to myself: no one is going to mess with her; I wonder if I should rethink my breed of choice

haha.

I hope the GSD took a good chunk out of his leg....as a permanent reminder of his stupidity.

That's really funny. Dumb robbers.

A while back a burglar went through my street - not over the road, because of the barky dog, not my place, same reason. Went next door because the 3 rottweilers were sleeping. Not for long, and the burglar was caught at the hospital when she (yep, it was a woman) was having her leg and arm stitched up. Police were waiting because neighbour found bits of a pair of jeans and a shirt on the ground, and the dogs were very restive, so he phoned the police.

Gotta love dogs!

Actually that's a good point. I'm about 4 months preggo now... I dropped off to sleep on the couch at about 7pm last night, woke up at 11 ?? and she was curled up beside my head, as soon as I got up to go to bed, she followed me in.

Also often follows me to the toilet now, and waits *right* outside the door.

In saying that, I have no idea where she is at the moment. Outside in the sun I'd say.

The would be robbers were dumb on two fronts. Firstly because of the risk of the dog attacking them but secondly who carries anything valuable when out walking the dog anyway.

Some time back, police were chasing an intruder in the Kangaroo Point/East Brisbane area. He kept legging it over fences...quite an agile bloke. Police were falling behind.

Then bloke vaulted over one fence...on top of a rottweiler below. Rottie was not happy with this 'attack' from above. Bit him soundly. Gave time for police to catch up & take him off to the hospital. Only nice words said about the rottie.

Excellent work by your clever Shepherd! They are clearly the most smartest & well trained dogs
