Hercules has another great story.

A couple adopted him from a shelter so he wouldn't be put down. Hercules the St Bernard had been found in the woods malnourished and recovering from a coyote attack.

Within hours of arriving at his new home, Hercules chased off a intruder who had cut phone and cable lines, taking a piece out of him in the process.

Yes, Hercules was featured this morning on Fox & Friends. His new owners (who were saved from an intruder only 6 hours after they brought H home) appeared with more details from the horrific experience. Hercules slept through the interview, raising his noble head only once.

The intruder cut the phone wires before Herculese chased him off. H got him in the ankle, however, before the perp got away. It was late in the evening on his first dy with the Littlers, and the lady of the house had just left for work. Mr. Littler was going to take Hercules out to “do his business” when the dog broke through the screen door and chased someone coming out of their basement which had an exterior door. The phone wires had been cut.
