Do you think your dog would secure you?

I like to think my lab mix Ace would secure me, but I have my doubts.

Police said a girl walking her dog before school Thursday morning was nearly abducted by a man, according to WSB-TV in Atlanta.

Her 4-year-old rat terrier mix apparently saved her by biting the man’s ankle, which caused him to let go of the girl’s wrist.

This happened in Cobb County, Ga., near Atlanta.

From WSB-TV:

Jennifer Jones says her 4-year-old rat terrier mix saved her daughter from being abducted.

“My hero. My daughter’s hero,” Jones said holding her dog. 

The girl told Cobb county police she was walking her sisters to school on Darnell road near Barber road in Marietta around 7 a.m. Thursday when a man drove past her and stopped.

“She kept walking and when he had jumped out of the truck he tried to get hold of her and my dog goes crazy,” Jones told channel 2’s Carl Willis

The dog bit the suspect on the ankle, just enough to run him off.

Police are still trying to find the suspect.

Do you think your dog would do the same?
