The wandering 65-pound Pit Bull mix might have seemed menacing to some passerby, but one woman will always remember him as her “guardian angel.”
The dog, which authorities think is lost and not a stray, successfully thwarted a robbery attack on a mother and her 2-year-old son, who were held at knifepoint Monday afternoon.
The Florida woman, who has been identified by authorities simply as “Angela,” was leaving a playground with her toddler son in Port Charlotte when a man approached her in the parking lot with a knife and told her not to make any noise or sudden movements.
Angela didn’t have to do either to protect herself and her child — a dog mysteriously ran to the scene and charged the man, who quickly fled.
“I don’t think the dog physically attacked the man, but he went at him and was showing signs of aggression, just baring his teeth and growling and barking. It was clear he was trying to defend this woman,” Animal Control Lt. Brian Jones told Pet Pulse.

Heh heh. Lol.
What does that have to do with pit bulls? I assumed it was his constant posting of PBT stuff.

Thank you. I think that 11johara28 was trying to make a joke or something. A little gallows humor is okay sometimes, I guess, but we have to watch out for the Chet99 types.
WE NEED A PIC OF THE SWEETIE!!!
“... that’s half Pit Bull, quarter Rottweiler and quarter Great Pyrenees...”
I am trying to imagine what your doggie looks like... either the most handsome dog in the world or, uh, one that only a mommy could love.
Nothing. He wasn’t zotted over pit bulls. But his zot sure did make all the pit bull owners happy.... ;-)
Since Pits were originally a baiting and fighting breed, there's some aggression in the bloodlines - animal not people aggression because the handlers were in the pit with the dogs. BUT a well bred dog from good lines that is properly socialized and trained is not a problem.
*I almost said poodle, but you can hunt ducks over a poodle. See here: Up Close Photo.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing.
Well, sorry to see someone get the boot, but he sure got on my nerves a few times with the Pit Bull stuff.
Angels get to pick their form.
Sorry. Meant to be humorous. Wife says I have no sense of humor. I think she just doesn’t understand me. Will try to put that little sarcasm thingy next time.
‘S okay. I’ve done it myself, and gotten juice-oozing flamed for it too.
