A courageous pit bull is lucky to be alive after saving her owner from a potentially deadly situation.
When Aubrey Christopher heard commotion outside his Kansas City home one night, he knew that he was in danger. His pit bull, Blue, didn't hesitate to leave the bed where they were sleeping and run to the door. That's when Aubrey discovered three armed intruders trying to get in.
As soon as he saw them, one of the intruders reportedly said, while waving a gun, "Open the door a little bit more. I’m going to shoot him in the face."
Meanwhile, Blue was attacking the door, hoping to get to the armed men, and Aubrey rushed to get his weapon.
Aubrey didn't see what happened while he was gone, but he saw the terrifying aftermath. The intruders had thankfully fled, but Blue was on the floor, bleeding. In their attempt to kill the poor pit bull, they punctured his lungs and stabbed him in the jaw.
Neighbors helped Aubrey rush his beloved pet to the veterinary hospital, where Blue underwent surgery and managed to survive the attack.
Now, Blue is just fine, recovering with tubes in his neck to drain the fluids and some scars. But now his owner is saying that the pit bull is not only lucky to be alive, but that he's lucky to have such a loyal pet.
"If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be talking to you right now," he told KMBC. "If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here."
Money is being raised to help pay for Blue's care via the pet charity, Frankie's Friends.
We're so happy that both pup and owner are safe!
