A family dog is being hailed as a hero after bravely stepping in to stop an attempted kidnapping at a neighborhood park.
The terrifying incident happened on a sunny afternoon as families enjoyed a day outdoors. A child had briefly wandered away from their playgroup when a stranger suddenly tried to snatch them.
Before anyone could react, the family’s dog sprang into action — barking furiously and charging at the would-be kidnapper. Startled and overwhelmed, the suspect fled the scene, leaving the child unharmed.
