Dog gives its life for family

08:38 AM CDT on Tuesday, April 24, 2007

From Staff Reports

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.

BETTER STORY!

A Chihuahua named Paco tried to sound the alarm that an intruder had entered his owner’s Northeast Dallas apartment early Tuesday, but his persistent barks ceased when he was stabbed.

A person with a shotgun and large knife confronted a man who was smoking outside his apartment in the 9800 block of Walnut Street near Audelia Road. The suspect escorted the man into his apartment and demanded money.

The man’s golden Chihuahua began to bark at the suspect, and the intruder grabbed the dog and tried to break his neck, according to the police report. When that failed, the suspect grabbed the dog and stabbed it.

The suspect fled with money and two game consoles.

Police took Paco to a veterinarian, but he had to be euthanized after suffering serious injuries.

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