Dogs are cute, love to play with their owners, and are very friendly, but not just that. They are also the protectors of their loved ones. And when it comes to danger, a dog will never back off his feet to save your life.
This story that I will share with you is a very memorable one, mainly if a dog saves you from an imminent rape.
Maya Fairweather is an 18-year-old lady from Brooklyn. On Monday evening, Maya was at her boyfriend’s apartment and having fun with her boyfriend’s dog, Apollo, a five-month-old pit bull.
Around 10 pm, she took the sweet puppy for a walk in the Red Hook Recreation Area park.
Maya had no idea that something wrong was bound to happen to her.
While they were out, she unleashed Apollo to enjoy the park with her headphones on. A moment later, she suddenly felt someone pulling her headphones.
Thinking that it was her boyfriend, she smiled and looked back, but found a stranger.
At once, he pulled her jacket and pushed her to the ground, so Maya started to think differently. The man tried to pull her pants when she fell on her hands.
Maya decided to close her eyes in order not to see his face. She did that because if she saw the stranger’s face, he might kill her. It made her scared and frozen out of fear. But it didn’t take long until Apollo came and attacked the stranger.
Apollo bit him on his legs, and the dog did it so hard that the man had to struggle to shake him off. Maya immediately took the time and ran away, crossing the road. The brave dog left the stranger, and he escaped.
Maya described how she was glad that Apollo came to protect her. Maya went to the police station to report the incident, and the police officers began their initial investigation to look for the attacker.
Luckily, Maya is safe now and very thankful to her hero, Apollo.
