Dog gives its life to save family

Dallas police said a robbery was disrupted by a Northeast Dallas family's Chihuahua early Tuesday, according to WBAP-AM.

A man armed with a shotgun and a large buck knife forced the victim, who was outside smoking, back into his apartment in the 9800 block of Walnut Street, near Audelia Road. The pet began barking and tried to keep the suspect at bay, police told the radio station.

The dog awakened the family and the robber apparently decided to flee. Police said the suspect took some money and two game consoles, then stabbed the Chihuahua with the large knife.

Police took the dog to a veterinarian, but the dog had to be euthanized after suffering serious injuries.

No family members were injured and police were searching for the suspect.
