McCoy was at home with her younger son when she heard the door open, assuming it was her older son returning. As she entered the kitchen, expecting a family member, she was startled to find a stranger instead, as reported by KFOR News.
In response, McCoy screamed, and Dubai, the family dog, acted swiftly. Despite the stranger’s initial intrigue, Dubai’s primary focus was on the safety of his family. Recognizing McCoy’s distress, Dubai immediately discerned that the intruder was unwelcome.
Dubai chased the burglar back to the door, relentlessly barking throughout. As the intruder struggled to exit, Dubai lunged at his face, threatening to bite. At 122 pounds, Dubai’s imposing size and determined demeanor proved effective. The security footage showed Dubai standing waist-high to the intruder on all fours, and when on his hind legs, he easily reached the burglar’s face.
Dubai’s actions forced the intruder to flee, and he was swiftly apprehended by the police. Upon positive identification by McCoy, the man was arrested and charged with burglary, bringing an end to the alarming incident. Thanks to Dubai’s protective instincts, the family was kept safe, and he emerged as the hero of the day, as concluded by KFOR News
