Pit Bulls are dangerous, so it is said. Well, in this story that may be true, but only for the bad guy. In fact this little female got the 2008 Hero Dog award from saving her owner from a male attacker! Think of the fearlessness a dog would have to have to go after a human being at least seven times her weight and size.
Maya is her name, and she jumped to her human companion’s defense as the young woman was being strangled in her own home. Maya’s fearlessness led to some of the attacker’s blood on her muzzle, which was swabbed by the police in order to get a DNA match. This eventually led to his arrest, and hopefully his conviction. He was a repeat offender.
Hurrah for the pit bull!
