ROCKY WINS
Happy story of the day:
When three masked men burst into an elderly man’s Sydney unit last night they hadn’t bargained on Rocky the German shepherd.
Two-year-old Rocky - described as a normally placid, family dog - attacked the intruders.
“The dog’s a hero really,” said Michael, a 56-year-old relative of the man whose home was broken into.
“He’s normally the most gentle dog. He’s not a guard dog. He’d lick you and love you to death.
“We were surprised he actually wanted to attack but the dog did attack and saved the owner’s life.”
Rocky took a couple of bullets for his trouble, but survives.
