A German shepherd was shot and beaten while it protected its teenage owner from burglars, according to local media reports.
Two thieves broke into a family home in Washington while a 16-year-old boy was at home alone.
As the teenager hid in the closet, his dog, Rex, ran downstairs to confront the intruders.
The
thieves attacked the animal, leaving him badly injured, but as they
proceeded into the bedrooms Rex continued to defend the teenager and
threw himself at the intruders, KTLA reported.
"As
they entered the room where my nephew was hiding in the closet, Rex
came out with the little strength he had left in him and threw himself
at them as he knew my nephew was in danger," Susy Cadena said on a
GoFundMe page, which has been set up to raise money for Rex’s treatment.
"My
nephew was protected by his eternal friend until the last bit of
strength he had in him to do what his unconditional, loving instinct
told him to,” she added.
