Rescue Pit Bulls Save Their Owner's Life During Terrifying Attack
Dogs are man's best friend, and the two you're about to meet are certainly no exception to that rule.
Ellabelle and Ladybug are two beautiful pit bulls who haven't always had an easy life. That is, of course, until they were adopted by their loving new owner, Robert McGowan.
Robert immediately recognized the sweetness in the pair when he met them. "They're very docile and timid," he said. "They're not aggressive at all."
Robert says the dogs repay the kindness he has shown them every day by providing him with unconditional love and friendship. Recently, however, they did something even more remarkable: they saved his life.
One evening, Robert was sitting in the garage when, without warning, four strangers appeared out of nowhere and began attacking him.
"One just punched me straight in the eye," McGowan said. "I was knocked off my chair."
The attackers demanded that Robert hand over the keys to his vehicle. Dazed and injured, Robert replied that the keys were inside the house.
However, what they didn't know was that Ellabelle and Ladybug were also inside.
When one of the attackers opened the door to the house, the two dogs were there, ready to greet him.
"They chased them out," McGowan said.
"My girls ran into the garage and stood over me. They stood there barking, making it clear that no one was going to hurt me anymore. The four people took off."
McGowan was left with a black eye, but thanks to his dogs looking out for him, he wasn't further injured, and nothing was stolen.
Robert made sure that Ellabelle and Ladybug were rewarded greatly for their heroic acts.
"They got toys and treats," McGowan said. "They got good stuff."
Robert hopes his story might inspire others to open their homes to dogs in need.
"They are rescues. Unwanted dogs. They saved my life," he wrote. "Please consider adopting a rescue. They might save your life too."
