We all know the saying that a dog is a man’s best friend. Well, a robbery victim in Valencia was saved from further trauma when his dog intervened.
According to police reports, a 45-year-old man from Valencia Old Road, Valencia, was accosted by four masked gunmen in the garage of his home on Friday night. One of the suspects brandished a firearm and announced a hold-up. The man was able to run inside his home after his dog came to the rescue.
