WAtch the video. While I know many on here have total hate for pit bulls and think they are they are inherently evil, this dog is a hero. Now, as for the family who owns him, I won't comment because I don't know them. But I still attest that the reason pit bulls get a bad wrap is because a certain type of people buy them and train them to be vicious.

I do not like pit bulls (unlike some family members), but they are protective of their “family” and in a situation like this I might want one. I also agree that there are those who train them to be more vicious than they would be otherwise.

I guess I don’t know my dogs. I watched this on FOX last evening and never got the impression that this was a pit bull … still don’t see it!

A brave dog, but not a Pit. Some mix, but all heart. BTW I love Pits, this is not a a put down. The most beautiful dog I have ever seen (except my own , of course) was an Am staff named Betty. Beautiful temperament, beautiful dog.

Brave Dog. My non-Pit Bulls would protect me in a similar situation. Of course the intruder would be licked to death.
So glad the dog survived. Shot three times and not the worse for it. Good Dog.

Only the dumb or uninformed believe pit bulls are extraordinarily different from other breeds.
The issue is this: When a pit goes bad and wants to hurt something/somebody...or when it has one of those "only two or three times in a lifetime" fits, the damage is severe.
Same with all the german guard breeds too...though mis-judgement by a Dobie is EXTREMELY rare:)

What was the bad guy using, a bb gun? If I have to shoot a dog more than once I figure I’m wasting ammo.
