OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- A dog shot while trying to protect his family is expected to recover.
D-Boy the dog was shot when a thief tried to break into a home near the intersection of Northwest 42nd Street and Classen Boulevard.
The dog’s owner told KOCO that the veterinarian said, “If it wasn't for his hard head, he'd be dead."
Police said the dog was shot once in the head and despite that, he kept attacking the thief. D-Boy was shot again for his doggedness.
After shooting the dog three times, the man ran away, police said. Officers took D-Boy to a vet shortly thereafter.
His owner said the officers even called the next day to check on him.
Roberta Trawick said she’s thankful for the police and for D-Boy.
However, D-Boy's apparently been on edge since the incident and races to the door whenever someone comes to the home.
"I'd rather have him than anything,” Trawick said.
The vet said that D-Boy should recover.
The cost to save D-Boy was pretty steep, as well. The bill came out to be $1,500.
